Removing Camshaft Journal Holders

[steventh]

Folks,

Thanks for advice.

Finally got it all together and running. Unfortunately i had already loosened the journal holder before the advice on using cable ties so had to reset the chain and sprocket. Very fiddly with the engine still in the bike but no big deal.

The hardest part was tightening the bolts. Once you strip one aluminium thread you become very wary about doing it again even with using a torque wrench.

The time involved in rectifying this small error more than justifies getting a good quality torque wrench or maybe a small one for light loads because it is soooo easy to strip aluminium threads

Cheers
