Perhaps I did that because I'm a real snake with a hidden agenda..................
Never understood why the hole is in the flinger plate in the first place.
Years ago I saw a piston hanging over a workbench in a shop. It had a valve jammed into it the same way. I asked the mechanic for the story and he said a Harley rider came in complaining that his engine was missing on one cylinder.
How could the rider tell?
Now I've just got to wait for the head to come back from the head shop and I can get serious about seeing if it's going to make any horrid bottom end noises!Pete
Are you talking about the engine or the rider next time he or she takes the bike out?
Nice to see top quality training and induction processes are high on the agenda at Mandello! (Or wherever the engines are built? Modena maybe?)More annoying is that the inlet valves are bent too More expense. Grrrrr.Pete
Nah, you can see the pin through the hole in the flinger plate. It hasn't started to move on this side. Only a matter of time though.
In the 9 o'clock hole, I use the small holes to cover pin. You can then still see it and use to set cam up.
So in this case the pin migrated out of the camshaft and into the sprocket, through the improperly aligned hole in the finger plate, thus allowing uncoupling of the timing.Is it possible for the pin migrate in the other direction, towards the cam lobes ? Surely not ! But I can't remember exactly how it was designed to prevent that ...
