Cam chain guide...

Post by Armi400 »

While taking the head off (which i've NEVER done before) one of the cam chain guides came off.

No idea how to reinstall it....is there a special technique???

Can't do anything till i figure this out....Help :whistle:

The guide simply slots in exhaust side from above before the cam is fitted.
The 't' piece locates it in the cylinder head.

It just slots in, only fits one way.
Its then held by the cam chain turning.
