Has anyone tried this? The piston skirts don't come down that low so it doesn't seem like it would need to be a scientific thing... just never tried it... and as far as getting the cam chain pulled out... it can even seem to be pulled tight and still bunched up... the suggestion to roll the crank a bit is a VERY good one while somebody keeps tension on that chain!
I did it very very carefully and slowly. It took about an hour.
I had picked the machined cylinders up late friday afternoon of a long weekend and didn't realise the chamfering wasn't done until the shop was closed.
Remembering the process from last time is why I am going to have the chamfering done today by another shop.
