Dont let the chain lose the location on the bottom tone ring. This is close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacktur8oute Member 139 Member For: 11y 10d Gender: Male Posted 13/08/19 07:48 AM Author Share Posted 13/08/19 07:48 AM Just wondering if the bottom end is close enough to TDC it can go slightly to the left but it I do that then the cam sprockets will be out and the chain won’t go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
