grrrr, I cant do it, I have now split the casings again.

can someone confirm the orientation of the primary chain guide in the lower casing (which way the dot faces) the upper can only go one way. I was thinking this might be the issue if its putting some pressure on the chain??

Yours is the same as mine Ted so I guess they're the right way round.
