Run Red Run: Camchain and more

Spent a long day on the carpet...


  • Main goal was just to add the cam chain and the new roller bolt I got from eBay along with the other misc cam bits.
  • Discovered that the other misc cam bits were in much better shape then what I had installed.  The oil sprocket had very sharp teeth compared to the rounded off one I had.  Also swapped out the retaining ring.
  • Also started adding in more gaskets.
  • But ended up with an odd problem where once I added the rectangular rubber gaskets on jug and head, I couldn't get the camshaft in because the head was slightly out of alignment.  Had a hunch that I needed to tighten down the head cover to get it compressed enough...
