I have to say, things went smoothly for the most part. All my parts came out and have been aligned on a tray on top of a extended manilla folder..so all sorts of notes and diagrams could be incorporated to make since and oranize all the parts. Questions are as follows: To buy Shims, they come in a standardized sizing. What exactly is that? And how do I round off my shims in order to purchase the right replacement Shims..?.I Do believe I can use 1 shim in another valve.bucket..but it looks like I'll be needing 7 shims as far as I can tell. Also, I put threaded screws thru the cam and tensioner cam, which kept it from coming apart all toghether..but apparently the hole is smaller on the thin cam tensioner part than the whole in the Thicker cam. So the cam slipped the difference of the diameters in the two wholes...basically tilted to the side of tension a Half tooth...obviously I guess I should have maybe put a washer and nut on them with some gentle pressure..or enough to have kept the thinner cam sprocket from slipping. What to do now? It looks like there are a couple of holes in the cam that could be used to get some kind of spanner tool in those holes and leverage the gear the Hald a tooth back to matching the fat gear..and then tighen a washer and nut onto the exsiting screw thru the pin hole..so it wouldnt slip back..Ideas??
Anyway's The Shims I need are as follows: Intake, right to left: 2.705,2.735,2.715,&2.725. Exhaust: rt to Lft:2.785,2.875,2.785,& 2.765. Well, got source these shims..waiting on the valve cover from the powder coater, and lastly need vc gasket and whashers for vc screws, and oil filler oring and shims and I think I'll be ready to re-assemble at that point..after figuring out the tensioner cam slippage situation..Help..Mr. Wizard...But hey...when their done..it will be
Wicked Pissa!!!
