    gs550d tachometer drive on the camshaft stripped

    Sadly I'm from Europe and the shipping is $69 :( I see there is no point of risking it and putting this camshaft back to the freshly rebuild engine (bottom end included). Will be looking for a nice camshaft here in europe. What about the chain sprockets - there are two types - those with...

    It's1978 GS550D - European version - pretty rare. The tach drive enter the engine in the Valve Cover, not in the Head. The tach drive gear is in perfect condition. The gear on the camshaft looks broken, not bend. Have a really tough time deciding what to do with this thing. The rest of the...

    rebuild - Crankshaft and gearbox oil seals GS 550 1979 + clutch pushrod verisons ?

    1. I fully disassembled my motor today for full an thorough painting. There two huge oil seals - one on the left crankshaft side and one on a gearbox shaft. They stayed on their shafts and still look really good. I'd replace them since it's first and probably last time this engine is open this...

    gs550d tachometer drive on the camshaft stripped

    The gear in the tach drive is perfectly fine. What do You mean by oem gasket - which gasket ? You suggest the gasket might be to thin/thick and the contact between gears was off ?

    gs550d tachometer drive on the camshaft stripped

    During the engine rebuild one of many problems I've found is stripped tachometer drive. Looks nasty. I don't think it's safe to drive the tachometer with this gear... What do You think ? Is buying another camshaft my only option here ?
