help needed--camshaft problem again- COMPRESSION RESULTS

[Anonymous]

Good job. The compression isn't that bad considering they were cold - remember you have a motor with a few miles on it. Your valves don't look bent to me.

If you haven't syncronized the carbs, you might want to consider that as your next project.

I think Poot has had enough excitment for the rest of the year. You may want to save that job for next year's Good Deed.

You may have a point there Jake. Let's give him a week or two - not a year! (It's a lot easier Poot)

I don't know what bike you have, but on GS450's from the early 80's it is 18 chain pins from the top of each cam sprocket for the correct timing. Make sure your arrows on the sprockets are pointing to the cam gasket surface and that your TDC marks are correct after removing the side cover on your engine. If you don't have one already I suggest getting a Clymers manual for your bike. They walk you through everything with pictures.

Good luck.

yup. timing is bang on, and im picking up my shim tonight. all thats left, is to check the float levels, synch my carbs, and press my brake pads back into the housing properly. (kinda pushed down on lever half way----accidentally )


change my oil, and im good to go!!!
