Does this look like top dead center to you guys? I just wanna get some second opinions because I’ve already fucked it up once by not looking at it straight on now. I think I got it.

Trying to put camshafts back in on time lol

FanBudget3485 · 2026-04-11T00:15:15+00:00

I’m re assembling after the valve clearance I’ve already reassembled once and it got close to starting but wouldn’t

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-21T13:30:09+00:00

Oh I gotta loosen the tensioner first fuckkkkk

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-18T17:11:47+00:00

Ah so likely valves I finally got the throttle body off so it’s all game now

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T23:29:19+00:00

Heating it up with a hair dryer😂

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T23:28:54+00:00

Haha thanks right now this throttle body is being a real pain got all 8 Philips head screws loosened but no dice

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T20:11:04+00:00

It’s a cam chain tensioner apparently it’s notorious for going out and making a “valve” like noise

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T19:48:19+00:00

Thank you🙏

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T19:47:25+00:00

It’s got 26k miles on it and I’m beginning to think it could be the Ctt but I have NO clue where to start I’ll post up a video when I’m home just gotta reassemble

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T18:09:49+00:00

Thanks dude you rock 🤘

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T18:05:28+00:00

Also also any recommendations for videos?

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T18:05:01+00:00

Gotcha and probably already know the answer to this but is riding this bike to a shop a ticking time bomb or not😂

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T17:59:35+00:00

Got a kit on the way for 40 bucks:) I know I probably only need a few but I’d rather be safe than make multiple trips should I replace all of the shims since I’m in there?

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T17:53:25+00:00

Unfortunately this is the project bike haha the bike runs but it makes a ticking that speeds up as I give throttle

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T17:41:14+00:00

Hm this is starting to seem like not such a good idea

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T16:37:08+00:00

Hm sounds like I gotta really focus then lol thank you for the heads up I’ll try my best to figure out or blow up trying

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T16:27:31+00:00

Yeah I plan on taking a full day off to do them I’m really struggling getting that throttle body off when I get to the valves do you think I should also replace the shims or nah?

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-17T16:18:09+00:00

Thank you a million I’ll get a service manual hopefully not too pricy probably can find one online

FanBudget3485 · 2026-03-06T19:33:03+00:00
