I got the aftermarket cam chain guide. It's different a little, but I think it will work. It's the same length, the curve is a little different, and the area where it will have the tensioner pushing on it is different. But the area on the new one is pretty flat, so I think it will be fine? What do you pros say?
Oh, and I got the last of the side covers painted:

Well, I never compared the tensioner guides until just now after I saw that they were slightly different. I could of sworn that the part numbers were the same in between the GS1000 and GS1100 motors. I must of made a mistake somewhere. Im a bit undecided if I should use this tensioner guide. I think the area where the tensioner hits is plenty thick, but I am unsure of the angle. I think the tensioner might dig into the new guide. Im leaning on going towards using the stock chain guide, it has plenty of life left and I never had a problem with one before. I will decide when I start assembling my motor.

let me know cause mine just showed up as well, and i am in the same boat as you two with the guide. I am of the opinion of Bruce and i think it will work there seems to be plenty of meat on it.
on a side note how do you guys plan to mount it? Do you have to drill out the old pin to get the guide off and then mushroom the new pin with the new guide installed?78 GS1000 Yosh replica racer project

Yeah, something like that. If I use it, which I think I might, I'll just use my brake line flaring tool to flare the ends.

I install this guide in almost every GS motor I build & the pin is a PRESS fit so nothing else is needed except to get it centered. The block keeps it from coming out even if it were loose. Check to see where the tensioner lands on it & make your decision from there. On 16 valvers it's a no brainer. The 8 valvers I'm not sure. Ray.
