The cam chain I have just bought is of the continuos type. To avoid dismantling the bottom end of the engine to fit the chain. Is it possible to cut the chain and fit the link from the old chain?This way I can fit it without removing the barrels and crankshaft.

I have just removed mine - from the inside side of the cylinder head using a small drift and a hammer you can get the shaft moving. Once you run out of space with the drift try using an "L" shaped 4mm Allen key to knock the shaft out the rest of the way. Be very careful not to damage the i...

Based on this I will take a decision o...
