    Thanks Dave,

    Got the sprockets and the shim from Ah Spares along with a number of other bits.

    Thanks for your reply Dave.

    So the front camshaft retaining plate and the timing sprocket are the only thing taking up the end float, yes?

    I will get a crankshaft shim ordered thanks. The lip seal is definitely something that is going to be changed as I dislike felt seals a lot. Though I was going to attempt to fit one to the original timing cover as I didn’t know the exchange unit was available.

    Hi Pete.

    Yes just been looking at those online. I was thinking 50 ft lbs for the big ends and 65 for the mains. Might be an idea to sneak up on the mains, maybe see how it feels getting them to 60 and go from there.

    The 100/4 gives 75 ft lbs for the cyl head but in my manual it says 65 ft lbs for the head nuts. So perhaps slightly under 100/4 spec and shouldn’t be too far off the mark. Not sure if that makes any sense.

    Thanks, Paul
