Hi everyone,
My new springs, retainers, keepers and seals have arrived and im now getting ready start in the next few weeks. i have some questions i hope i can have answered.
1)I plan on doing this with the motor still in the bike, does this pose any problems?
2)being my first time doing something like this is there a way i can take the cams out without having to re-time so to speak? eg marking the rotation etc on cam and head so i can simply realign it all when i put it back in?
3)If i do have to adjust the time etc do i need a degree wheel?
4)Do i need any special tools other than a valve spring compressor and torque wrench? i have all the normal spanners, 3/4 and 1/4 inch socket sets allen keys etc.
5)if any of you tech heads enjoy being fed and plied with alcohol does anyone want to come help
?
Thanks guys I know this is probably a big first time job alone but id much rather do it so i can get to know the inside of my bike.
