Thanks Doc......I had completely forgotten about that wheel :blush: I think I am going to ask your help when I rebuild a motor.

Edit: Those guys at Z1E really know their stuff, hope the chain surgery goes well.

Well its been a while since i had time to work on this, unfortunately it got triaged into the corner for a while, however i recently tore the motor completely back down, installed a new cam chain (couldn't find a new Tsubaki and no masterlinks for the D.I.D.) and got it built back up. A friend of a friend has graciously let me borrow his huge shim kit to degree the cams. hope to have the motor buttoned up and in the frame by next week.

this motor fought me all the way to the end. Had to heli-coil three screws in the camshaft holders, but it is finally finished. I hope to have it in the frame soon.
