Re: serious timing issue

its riveted chain....i wouldn't...plus i think that would make it too short...its only a small amount of chain that needs shortening...head was machined 120 thou....so,120 thou x 2 =240 thou ???

Re: serious timing issue

coilbound valve springs??? breaks rocker arms.. (and sometimes valve collets) .and maybe thats locking up cam causing it to skip.....
you cant shorten the timing chain...too hard... :think: modify guides to use more chain .....to take up slack.
