That looks real Purdy mate
It looks so nice and clean, it seems a shame to bolt it together and make it invisible inside the engine. Maybe it would look great in a glass display case in your living room. Sent from my X6pro using Tapatalk
I'm back home, the head's back home and yesterday I put it on the bike. All was going well until I tried to put the cam shaft back. I can't get the timing chain onto the sprocket.I am feeding the cam shaft through the chain and loose sprocket, from the right, but can't get enough slack in the chain to get it onto the sprocket. I've loosened the cam chain tensioner, at least I believe I have. How many turns can the tensioner bolt go in? I thought it was only a small amount of movement between full range of adjustment? I got rained off yesterday, and jet lag got the better of me, so I'll be back at it today. Any thoughts, tips, encouragement, would be gratefully accepted.

It needs to face outwards so, you have the blade then chain between the blade and the outside front of the barrels and head. Make sure this is correct.Secondly, I am not sure what tensioner bolt you are referring to ? You should not bolt anything up until the chain is on the sprocket. Or have any bolts in place.
The tensioner is automatic, do not try to turn that bolt with the cut in it or you will break it.
