4jh valve clearances

[marti]

Hi, ive got 3 tight inlet valves on my donor motor, on 2 and 3 so i only need to remove the inlet cam
how do i remove/refit the camchain tensioner?
My manual is missing a few pages,
Thanks

Unbolt it from the engine block - you'll probably break the gasket but they're not expensive.

Sorry, what i mean is do i have to lock the tensioner or remove the springs and any guides and do i have to reset the tensioner ratchet on reassembly

[Evilchicken0]

Ah.
OK
Take the guide off the top of cam chain.
Unbolt one of the bolts from the cam gear coggy thing
Turn the engine
Ziptie the chain to the cam gear coggy thing
Undo the cam journals
unbolt the second bolt from the cam gear coggy thing
jiggle the cam free

or something like that

Thanks again evil
very usefull
im having trouble with my highly miley in the wetty grippo tyres
any ideas?

[Evilchicken0]

Which tyres ???
Check the pressures
If you don't feel like the bike has the same amount of grip - slow down. Sounds obvious but it could save you from coming off. Most tyres will work through all conditions and work a lot better than you'd think but if you don't feel confident just back off a bit.

It's always an idea to to have suspension looked at, it should be supple rather than hard.
