You made some good comments about my post.
I have thought about the fragility of the cam sprocket and will try and peen the link below the sprocket, out in the open so to speak. But I don't know if I have enough room, too lazy to get up and go look... it's 3AM.

And congratulations on your retrievel of your spring (you idiot...). I freaked when the end of my old chain disappeared into my engine when I disconnected my chain ( too many beers-me idiot!)
Fortunately it was the passenger side end, and was easily retrieved with a magnet. Whew.

Are you folks in autumn weather now? What does your part of the world look like? Do you have electricity yet? LOL.
