OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Started work on assembly today but it's ground to a halt as DS have not got the cam tensioner blade clips in stock!
The assembly lube is much thinner than I expected - I will need to mop up a bit.

Sesman:
Is the crankshaft the right way round. The primary chain appears to be askew?

It's just the way the chain has laid to one side when the primary gear is not in place.
I could be wrong but I don't think the cam chain would sit central as it does if it was the other way round.
Sesman:
No idea, it’s just that the photo presents the primary drive out of line.
Nurse Julie:
Looks the same as my 400 looked at that stage ( photo below) and it all came together spot on.
