Hello folks,
Engine almost ready now - but one question - how much slack should be left in the primary chain? I am assuming a few millimetres (5 to 10?)at the mid point of the chain run to allow for engine/gearbox case expansion when hot? Is that about right?
Also, I've lock wired the bolts holding the chaincase to crankcase (tab strip was missing), also the gearbox to engine bolts. Are there any others I should wire?
I'll put some pictures up on the site soon - when there is something worth photographing!
Once again, thanks for the help.
Tony
