Couldn’t get the intake cam bolt off. The exhaust was pretty tough. But my daughter was able to break it loose while I held the wrench. She’s a couple inches taller and about 50lbs stouter than me.
after several failed attempts by 5 people (myself and my daughter and my neighbor who came by with her husband and his friend) I came up with this. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...10382f373c.jpg that 15/16 wrench is strapped to the front bumper I threw my 1/2” breaker (snapped the 3/8” already) in a 4’ cheater and literally climbed on the bumper to put my whole body in it. 🤪 When it popped it sounded like a gun shot. 😂 when ur a little woman you get inventive. 😁 |
Get an air cooled VW and diss the 13mm. For some reason the Germans use 13 and everyone else uses 14 when "Imperial" is 1/2.

maybe it’s just a woman thing. 😏 I don't stop the project tho, I just look harder for the missing one.. And I have triples of most all. I build Harley engines & trannies, so my tools are important. And especially the 10mm wrench or socket ... They like to hide. LOL Example of how I paint my tools https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...c4ba7b6504.jpg Rare Earth magnetic drain plug "Test" |

Short lived, bout 2 years, I think '70 to '72.

How do you KNOW if the tensioner engages? I put it in and got nervous that it didn’t engage so I took it out and sure enough it wasn’t. So I put it in again. The chain is tight but It looked tight when I put it in before I ever tried to engage it.

The tensioner with the bump on the outside will engage , I’ve installed several, never had one not engage. The swing arm will be impossible to move.

I’m almost to the valve cover. Don’t want to take it out to check again and risk pieces falling into the chain cover I’ve already installed. |
