CAM CHAIN ADJUSTER BOLT BROKEN

<< < (3/4) > >>

MIKE550/4:
chin up mate

complete novice like me ( no bike experience ) all but done a top end rebuild, bit tricky but take your time and yes you can do it,

get a honda manual, can verify guys on here willing to help

no real special tools needed , gasket/oil seal set , might as well clean up while your there

OLIVER1GEORGE:
so its a no no to try and drill it with a left hand drill bit and maybe try and unsrcew it by tapping with a punch or the drill bit might even undo it I'm just paranoid now that theres a slight chain noise there or do these engines sound like that its only slight but definitely there if i did get it out i could replace with a 6mm stainless bolt, whats the worst that could happen ........thanks chaps for all your advice its just a learning curb should i try or not can we have a vote...............

Bryanj:
Worst case is you end up needing to pull engine and replace cases,

Next worse pull engine to helicoil or timesert the thread

If you work for Hartleys it works

OLIVER1GEORGE:
is it a hard job to split the crank cases if i turn engine upside down ,drained of oil and take the bottom off will everything stay in place or will i end up with a hand full of cogs and bearings i think it is safer to do this as apposed to drilling then i can sort it out properly .

Bryanj:
Long time since i done a 400, I THINK you can turn the engine upside down and remove the lower case, but not 100$ sure
