Hi
First time engine rebuild- I am learning a lot
Full disclosure; I thought I had completed the engine rebuild on my ‘81, until the fact I had zero compression led me to realize I mistimed both cams on installation.
I do understand I may have damaged valves, we will see.
( If you can think of a name I did not call myself, feel free to insert it here.................)
I have removed both camshafts as per my Clymer and am trying to reinstall the exhaust sprocket on the shaft.
I’m pretty confident everything is lined up properly ( this time ) but I don’t quite have enough slack in the camchain to mount the sprocket onto the shoulder of the shaft.
The tensioner is fully locked in the slack setting.
I did read a thread here that seems to suggest installing all the bearing caps to snug the shaft down- but I couldn’t decide if this idea was being endorsed by AMC or not .
My Clymer does not indicate any difficulty here, so any suggestions will be gratefully received.
