Cam Chain Tensioner Guides/Rails/Sliders gs450

[Guest]

Hey Folks and Gs entusiasts,
So I bought a Gs450 1983 and disassembled the engine (ofcourse).
The engine looks great except from wears and tairs on the cam chain tensioner rails/sliders/guide.
Any Idea of where to buy NEW ones from? can,t see to find any anywhere.
And perhaps if anybody have af guide for removing the lower one?
- sorry for bad english, I'm from Denmark.

I used them for rings and gaskets to get my 450 going.
As for the stock parts, I got a spare set of guides with a head assembly. The parts bike had 27k and mine has about 32k. Both sets look the same.

These parts rarely need replacing. There will be a big ridge in the center of the lower ones by design. Send up a picture of yours and we can see if they are good or not.

The one in the valve cover is flat. The rear one can only be removed by separating the crankcase halves, which is a pretty major operation.

A supplier closer to your home is cmsnl.com in the Netherlands. I've seen lots of fresh looking guides for sale on Ebay for low prices.
