Replacing cylinder and piston By rp (Read 565 times)

[rp]

When I'm hooking things back up. The crank shaft and camshaft will both be at TDC. Do I have to compensate for the chain tensioner? Like positioning the camshaft a little forward or a little back when I put on the chain.

Engine cut out, spark good, fuel good, compression about 90.
Even if its just the head gasket, everything still has to come off.

Thanks for any help.

No, all the tensioner is doing is taking the slack out of the chain so it does not slap and jump a tooth.

Alley,

Thanks for the quick response. The scoots in the shed right now waiting for me to drag it out.
Hopefully the next couple of weeks will get the job done. Everything seems straight forward.

RP,
Before you pull anything off bring it up to TDC as if your going to adjust the valves and put a mark on a Chain LINK and TOOTH of the Cam Sproket as well as on the FLYWHEEL that the case pointer is pointing to that way you will not be off on the timing when you put it back together you will be the same as before you took it apart.

Now that's a sweet tip worth a couple of beers at least.

Thanks
