Default Some pics from the cam swap...

Here are the tensioners and a few other pics I snapped. I am in the process of a write up, this write up is 3 pages long and I am not even done yet. Maybe I'll be finished later today.

Old cam chain tensioners (the whole reason to disassemble and swap cams)

These shoes had 39K miles on them.
Rear shoe


Front shoe


Cam plate ready to be pulled


Drain the oil first or else it will all spill out of here and make a mess once the cam plate is removed.

Empty cam chest



Reinstalling inner cam bearing with the George's tool


Cam plate reinstalled with front shoe pulled back prior to install of out gears and chain


Cam plate reinstalled prior to install out outer shoe


Outer gears reinstalled and shoe in their proper place. The georges gear locking tool helps a with the tightening of the gear bolts.



Homemade Pushrod tube holder for installing the pusrods. This worked great.

Good question. I don't really know. I had already ordered the parts and then realized I should have gotten that. D'oh!

Anubiss,
What do you plan on doing regarding re-tuning the bike now that you're running SE 203s?
