feliks Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Success! Once the frame rails were out it was no problem! Even got my wife to help me take it out!!!! LOL!!!! I call that a success in itself.

rzresurection Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ah! Cool good to know! Why do I always start a project and then halfway through not have the right tool... where is my 12mm socket?!? Do I even have one?? NO. Why would I have a 12mm....the only one I need right now.... haha Do you have a metric set of sockets? 12mm is a pretty common size, it should have came with a basic set. Buy it if you need it.

rzresurection Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Now... here's the stripped bolt hole (this is for DT who wanted to see how far apart I should take the engine for the machinist) IMG_2351 by feliks.ca, on Flickr IMG_2349 by feliks.ca, on Flickr I think that you have to pull everything down to the surface that has the pooched hole. The machinist will need to see the hole and have access to it for the repair. He'll probably need the section above as well to make sure that he has the hole centered.

feliks Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah that's what I'm thinking, but at least the bottom end doesn't need to come apart right? As for the cams... how the hell do I get them out now? The book said to remove the sprockets but Flip said I didn't need to....seems like they're in there really tight even though I removed the tensioner on the back and the front.... Any ideas??

dt502001 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 See what looks like nuts on the cam shaft rotate the intake foward this will slacken the chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Your sure you got the cam tensioner out? the chain between the cams should be slack enough to lift the chain off and rol the cam out to the middel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Forget all that you need to turn the motor over so the lobes arent pushing down the valve/springs open the left cover and turn/rotate over the motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliks Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 covers open and it's at TDC....puled the front tensioner out (big long ass piece) and the back one out (just the spring thing on the outside) - is there more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Slightly rotate it off tdc to slack the chain between the cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
