Did u replace the clutch BASKET springs(not clutch springs)? This would be wise for a big block.the cases must be split to do it later.
Is this your big block motor? i asume so since u have a bearing cap and billit second.

i would consider a cam chain guide . it is a small guide that goes over the cam chain and sprocket . this keeps the chain in place when u are installing the cams.
1 job i do find very tedious, is installing the cams at the proper timing. if u are not careful to keep tension on the cam chain at all times, the chain can become dislodged from the crank sprocket. this is a big PITA. u must do this every time u reshim the cams.sometimes it gets lodeged beside the sprocket and it seems like it is inplace,VERY FRUSTRATING(to me anyways)
i believe Schnitz sells them, for about $20.i dont see it listed any more. u could call them and ask about it. Has anyone ever tried 1 of theses. every time i install my cams , i wish i had 1.
did u get an oil pan gate?

U must install the clutch basket before the cases go together.

Mark,
You have no idea how much I lauged when I read that. I know somebody that just did that [bolted the cases together with the clutch basket on the workbench] with a drag bike. They're used to Suzuki's so they didn't think anything about it... :laugh:

just like when u buy a new cabinet or something. u try to put it together , without the instructions, or the instructions are so bad u cant figure them out. in the end u put the thing together and take it apart a dozen times before u get it right.
Sometimes we don’t look forward far enough in our KZ manuals either. :laugh:

U CAN MAKE 1 YOURSELF.
just get a small hinge from the hardware store and mod it a bit. i screwed mine to the side of the oil filter housing. this way u dont need to drill a hole on the pan that can leak.
i reamed the oil drain hole on top a wee bit to, then modded the oil cup for more flow to prevent crank case pressure build up. (which could cause leaks.)
there is a pic of this mod in my project. pm me if interested.

you could always put a mild topend on there and add the other stuff as your time and budget allow,just a thoughtyessir, this is for the big block Yes, i have new clutch basket springs installed (could spin the old ones) and had the pins welded. Thanks for the help, i do have the cam chain on the crank, and the o-ring between the cases. I will make sure to attach the clutch basket first as i do not have it on yet. I cant wait to get this thing together. Now all i need is to build a stout head and get some cams/carbs (where the dollars really begin to add up )
