Next, the cam chain seems to be very tight, and I cannot spread both cams to their spots. Even if I accomplish this the cam chain would be VERY tight, isnt there supposed to be a little slack in the chain?
Also, I have heard that plugging the holes for the Emmission system deal that sits on top of the valve cover will make it unusable. The head is already installed, but can I put a rubber stopper/plug like device in the hole to solve this problem?
Lastly, I will need to time the motor. Is their a trick to doing this? Are any special tools required. I will soon have access to a service manual for this bike and I assume it will give directions for this procedure. Would the timing be the same as recommended in the manual even with the gpz head/cams?
Thanks alot, KZrider has been alot of help throughout this build

need divfferent retainers, take the tensioner off, and yes it has the info you need.
Different retainers? Are you referring to the bucket like objects that cover each valvespring?
The cam chain tensioner is already off, any other ideas?
Help would be GREATLY appreciated, I would like to get it all together soon.

Anybody know about my retainer question yet???
The cams are just snugged down for now, until I can figure out about the buckets, or retainers if these are the same thing. Then, I noticed numbers and arrows on the deals that hold the cams down. Does anybody have a picture of the order these go on.
