When you have the chain installed but the top is open send me a pic of the cam sprocket while the rotor is at "T". .....lm

I was able to clean up the bearing surface on the starter clutch gear. The starter clutch assembly slides over it nicely, now. The only issue I have remaining is that the 15x20x30 seal in the gear is perished and there doesn't seem to be a replacement in the seal kit I have. I'll have to chase one down. It's always something.

Now to get brave, find TDC, and put the head on. I keep reading the horror stories from folks being one tooth off on the cam gear and all of the hassles that ensue from that. I don't want to have to endure that, so I'm going to check, double check, and triple check the cam timing before I button things up.

Okay, here you are. If I read the manual correctly, this should be right. Right? :)

Well I did go out and try to get the chain installed. After the third time that I dropped it down inside the engine I'd had enough. It seems like the chain is one link short. Tomorrow I'll deal with again....
