Cam chain.. CB400f

<< < (3/7) > >>

ttr400:
If you have the cam cover removed, remove the rear plate the secures the slipper, the slipper will rise up. hold your finger on the top of the slipper and then back off the tensioner lock bolt on the front of the engine, you should now be able to push down on the slipper which will move the horseshoe, release your finger and it should want to push back up...this will confirm that the horseshoe and tensioner bar is working.

A little trick i do when i have rebuilt an engine is, leave the front lock bolt loose, re-fit the rear plate to the top of the slipper, screw down the 2 M6 bolts until it is nearly home,
leave it proud around 0.5mm, lock the front lockbolt. continue to tighten down the rear 2 M6 bolts until secure.

I do the engraving of the wing myself on a milling machine.

My anodiser contact won't be any good for you as i am in South Africa..!!

I have tried to anodise castings before and 99% of them do not come out nice, goes dark grey. i have been told the reason is the high silicone content in the alloy.
Only parts i have had good results is the switch housings and brake splitter, comes out sort of satin black.

I have to say the front engine mounts are lovely.. do you have a price for these? Also Kevin are you still making the custom cam chain adjuster?
