pull your oil filter to see if you have any rubber/aluminum shavings from the guide. I had plenty in mine.

It seems that it is going to be impossible to get my 81 frame title in nc. So I'm looking for one with a clean title. can be bare frame, basket case, or just a bike that not running. let me know what you have. I'm willing to drive anywhere within or near nc.

how does the inside of the tank look?

yep was a one tooth off. thanks for the help guys. And sorry for all the questions this is just my first time inside a motorsickle engine, other than putting an 88cc kit on my z50.

little red mark is where it should be, longer red line is where it is. looks likes its off a tooth to me. off with the head again

these pictures are taken with the cam set where it should be at TDC. looks like i could be a tooth off.?

it is pointing up. I have been reading some mroe of the manual though and think i may be pretty far off. From what i've read when one cylinder is tdc on the compression stroke the other should be at tdc on the exhaust stroke. on mine the exhause valve is not open at all at tdc. I reckon i'll be...

lots of teeth? oh no. I was trying to go according to this http://www.650motorcycles.com/CamTiming.html but seems I got it off a bit

just put my motor back together. when the pistons are at tdc the cam tdc indicate is at like 12:15 when it is supposed to be at twelve. does this mean im a tooth off on the cam sprocket or what?

ah that must have been it got her on

i dont have the cam chain bearings installed. the tensioner is backed out real far, but can I back it out too far/ all the way? thanks for the help.

i have been raplacing my cam chain guide So i decided to replace the chain as well. I go tthe head back on and am now trying to put the new cahin around the cam sprocket. I can't get it to go on at all. I cannot even get the cam sprocket in place as the chain gets in the way and doesnt have...

Very carefully. I got the chain through, had to make a chain riveter and finally got the technique down, right as I ran out of light. Looks like I can finish this up tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

Alright so i got my head off, to change out my cam chain guide and chain. How do i go about putting the new chain on wiht out breaking the base gasket seal, which i dont think i've broken yet. i have a hcain breaker and a new chain with master link. i was thinking i could break the chain then...

could you give me more details on how you did that seat, im lookin to to somethin similar.

Woo! just check my compression 155 and 158. i was impressed. now to order a gasket kit, guide, and chain. If only I didn't have to wait till fall break to do all this work

is that a jetta coupe i see there in the back gground

Soo i should just need the head gasket, not the whole gasket set, unless i break the base gasket seal? I'm about do a compression test to see if the little chunks have been causin and trouble in the cylinder. I drove it about 25 miles home and it ran real strong, but better safe than sorry.

alright so i pulled my oil filter today, lots of rubber and aluminum shavings. I suppose that was the mystery sound. I'm just tryin to put together a list of everything i'll need. 1. Cam chain guide 2. gasket set. on the gasket sets it says it doesn't include some head washers or something...

yeah first try to weld a nut to it. Another option is take it to a machine shop that has carbide bits, it can cut through that hardened steel, well in theory. I took my moped cylinder, that i broke an easy out in, to the machine shop and it just kept kicking out even the carbide bit.
