Although the speaker wire is good for the Black Sabbath, I just used a coat-hanger from the frame to the cam chain.

Did you have to split the chain to remove the cylinders?
And, i duno bout Bill, but ive never had to split the chain to remove the entire top end. Dont think you would have to at all, unless of course you had to replace the chain, then ive heard various tales on how it SHOULD be done. Some say you can get away with cracking the chain, running the new one and riveting it, other say the cases MUST be split as the chain should be continuous and NEVER pinned.

I had a timing chain come "un-glued" ONCE, and it bent all of my custom made valves! So when I replaced it, I tack welded the link with a wire feed welder.
Just my .02

The continuous chains are all made by a designated riveting process.
I've got 12,000 kms on my Tsubaki light weight chain so far.
The endless chains are safer to use, but do you want to split the cases?
Bill, those ball bearings made some rather sharp looking pit marks.:) The road to hell is paved with good intentions......................................
