the trickiest part will be managing the chain while you work. DONT LET IT GO ANYWHERE!

Make sure you have some mechanic's wire already cut and secured to something nearby, then when the chain is loose, attach it.


When replacing the sprocket, it may seem like you do not know where to place it. Let the markings be your guide. Flipping that washer is the FIRST thing you must do after removing that sprocket.

Make sure it lines up with the intended mark on the cam tower after flipping - the lobes should now be pointing up and the mark should be aligned.


with the sprocket free from the chain you are going to have to spin it to match the cam, it can only go on one way (you already know which direction it faces, though..) DO NOT PULL THE CHAIN. Place it on the sprocket once you have determined which link is going to fall into which tooth and allow all the TDC marks to line up while there is NO SLACK ON THE IP SIDE of the chain - send all of the slack to the tensioner's side of the chain.
