Thank you for these great videos. I am not sure if you are monitoring the comments, but I do have a question that I was hoping you could provide some guidance on.. I am stuck trying to install the cam on the exhaust side as I can not get the timing line to line up; I also lack clearance from the follower/rockers to rotate it any meaningful amount. Could this be a problem with how I installed the valve?
Hi! Thanks for watching! No, you’re not doing anything wrong. When you move the cam into timing mark you’ll be pushing against the tension of the valve. It’s really tight. You need about 12 hands to hold the cam in place, and thread the chain!
This was a gold standard review of assembling the valve and torsion spring system- Thank you!
Thanks! I'm heading back out to the garage to check my work now!
No problem! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for the great series. I bought a new 1972 CB450-K when I got out of the Marines Corps that year. It was a great bike.
Thanks for watching. I love the bike and love tinkering with it.
You say in video timing mark is on left hand side of cam but you show right hand side which is correct.
