Wish me luck this weekend on doing cam install
« on: April 03, 2020, 02:58:01 AM »
Well think I’m gonna attempt to change my cam and pushrods out this weekend. Suppose to be raining all weekend so figure good time to do it.  I’ve never done this before and little bit nervous about doing it. Just gonna take my time and go for it.  Been watching some videos on doing the install and doesn’t look too bad.
Plus I downloaded the service manual for bike also.

its pretty straight forward, one other little tip though, when you change out the bearing for a good one, put it in the freezer over night, dang thing will almost just slip right in!!

Update didn't get around to attempting the cam install. Just can't get motivated to start on it...Gonna call around and maybe find a shop to do it.. But most places are shut down or short staffed due to this coronavirus stuff...

I’ve talked with Steve at GMR. He’s about 5 hrs away from me and it’s hard for me to get up to him so can do it all.

Well I started on the cam install. So far have exhaust off, pushrods cut & lifter covers off. Now need to remove cam plate & cam and oil pump and then R & R cam bearing new oil pump & re install it all.

Question do I need to oil the lifters or just put them in & button it all up..????
