Horseshoe is the camchain tensioner part that runs under and around the crankshaft.
The only problem I have with the Pyramid kits is that they say they are Japanese bearings but don't tell you what make they are when buying the kit. So you have to hope they've chosen a decent make of bearings. I prefer to find my own and then I can select the manufacturer I prefer. Same applies to bearings inside the engine, often cheaper to source your own than buy Honda ones, same manufacturer in most cases.Primary chain, buy the Kawasaki 92057-1011 chain, same chain, half the price. May not need crankshaft and rod shells, if your really lucky. That's only IF you labelled them as you removed them, if you just threw them in a bag your kinda knackered unless they were all the same colour, very rare for that to happen. Some colour shells are now quite rare, lets hope you don't need any of those.Shells: kind of when the engine came apart half the shells fell out the other half i numbered up....If possible use Genuine Honda gasket kits.
Thanks very much for the info....as the motor has only done 6k is a full bearing replacement necessary?Headstock bearings: i bought oem honda bearings for the headstock (Wheels are back on and its rolling around the garage!)Pyramid bearings!? (what are they)?

I can source all the bits needed but on a you pay for it as i order it basis only, you pay labour at the end, we can discuss on phone no prob.The original horseshoe may be salvegable if you still have it, cant quote bores and pistons till i see them.Bryan
Hi there - i might very well take you up on that....i was thinking last night where i could get the parts washed....is yours big enough to take crankcases?
