Cam chain adjuster bolt bodge!
billdn:
Getting ready for the winter fettle and noticed this - carried out by earlier owner I guess! The bolt is an Allen head bolt going into the housing and there appears to be a steel dowel/pin going right through the housing (blue arrow) it protrudes by same length other side of housing, it looks like some cockeyed attempt to lock the Allen bolt in position. Why I've no idea ?
TBH I've never attempted adjustment of the cam chain, as I run on the it ain't broke don't fix it principle!
However I have a oil leak to l/h/s just below rocker box and I suspect an oil restrictor valve rubber has gone, so while I'm there have a look? Albeit would mean removing barrels etc and revealing what ever horrors lie within.
I'm loathe to remove/undo it as bike runs fine at the moment.

No Bill, Graham would throw those engine cases in the skip if he couldn't repair it properly. 'Do it right or don't bother doing it at all' is one of Graham's favourite sayings and he sticks to it rigidly.
