there is a single bolt in the front of the cam sprocket - it take a 22 mm socket once undone the dizzy drive and sprocket come away from the cam
the dizzy drive comes off and the sprocket just sits on a seat that bolts to the top of the block

the head removes with the sprocket and chain just sitting on the front of the motor

you dont loose the cam timing or anything

brilliant cheers man.

tried turning the bolt but it seems to just spin the chain,
would putting it in gear be the best idea?

cheers
