Help!!!! I Am Getting Close!!!

I took the cams out,the tensioner off.The motor still was very hard to turn over.So i took the head off and the front cam chain guide out.Now the motor turns over like a sewing machine!!! Whoopee!!! Only now what??? If I put the head on and reassemble what i just took off what did i accomplish? I wonder if the front cam chain guide somehow even though it seated down in ist slot like it seemed it was supposed to, maybe somehow at the bottom it is getting tangled in the chain somehow. Someone please help!!!

It is possible to install the front cam chain guide misaligned enough to wedge/bind the cam chain. (ask me how I know)

I knew you find it, Go back doing one thing at a time, then turn crank, one more thing & turn again, one thing at a time, till eng tightens up, re-do, till it doesn't tighten up. Aggrivating wasn't it, but don't it feel good now???

If you still need to get oil in the bores you could squirt it in through the plug holes. I presume you've sorted that bit now when you pulled the head.

Good luck!!

thanks guys!!! I will never ever never ever put my motor together again without checking its rotation ability before i move to the nex step.I am waiting about 5 more days for a new valve cover gasket.The suspense is killing me!! it does still turn over easily so I have high hopes.I might even start my own business....Rebuild your gs for $39.95 plus parts.No guarantees.Ha!

Glad to see that things are moving along and your efforts are reaping rewards. Remember, in most races the difference between winning and not finishing is just pushing through the final leg. Keep up the good work!

If I need a rebuild I will just load it up in the back of my truck and head your way.When you get done with your rebuild you will probably be able to do it blind folded!!!but not on my bike ,LOL!!! Good go'in buddy!!!

[Busafied]

I am glad it was the front guide binding, that will **** ya off the 1st time..

yeessir I do.I will not breathe easily until I hear it run and run properly,but i am the farthest i have ever been.There are at least 10 different ways to put one of these motors together.The 9 I tried, and the 1 that is correct.
