GRRR stuffing around !! Took me 2 days to do the timing chain with plenty of spanners growing wings !!

I had to make up a puller and installer for the crank gear then off and on 3 times to finally get the sprockets parrallel. Spent hours looking for a box of shims i had some where, when i finally did find them none the right size. The torrington bearing is 30 though thicker isnt it, that pushed the cam sprocket forward so the crank has to be the same.

Anyway, waiting now for a oil pick up and most of the suspension is done, just got to put it all back together.

See what tomorrow brings.

An old brake piston was just the right size and length to get the crank sprocket on, bewdy !!

Sorry more photos tomorrow.
