so what do you advice me to do ?
This is how i did this for like 10 times before sealing it off...
1-crank at TDC (chain loose and off the exhaust gear)
2-cams at head surface level using drill bits for reference
3-rotated the cam -free of chain- using they advance/retard mechanism counter clockwise until it stopped.
4-pulled the chain really hard on the right side to get it over the intake cam. chain always seemed to short to go on the next sprocket pin, and too long for the previous pin causing the slack....
5-muscled with the exhaust cam to get it back on correctly. seemed to be some slack between exhaust and intake cams also
5-no way to remedy that slack no matter what i tried, hence the problem!!!
what else could be done? everyone else gets this straight forward process correctly, except their is something preventing me from doing this correctly. and i cannot figure out why no matter what !!! i am fairly analytical handy and intelligent
(i think!)
I am going to take the front cover off, and see what could be done. i am expecting something wrong with my chain advance-retard mechanism maybe causing some slack in there? no need for a new chain in your opinion?
thanks.,
