Engine Reassembly #8

I used a piece of square tubing wrapped in a towel to keep the cylinder
header up off of the cylinders so I could fish the cam chain through.

Cylinder head on and cam chain fished through.

The cylinder head nuts looked pretty rough compared
to the newly painted engine.

A quick trip to the buffer and they look pretty sharp.

Getting ready to install the master link.  It took a few tries to get the chain
in position and the cams lined up properly.  I tied a piece of wire to the end
of the chain to pull it through the head from the intake side to the exhaust.

Master link installed.

Cam chain tensioner installed.

Adjusting the valve clearances actually went pretty easy.  I think it helped
going into it knowing it was going to take a little while and I just took my
my time with it.

It's a thing of beauty.  I can't wait to see what it looks like in the frame.

Another shot of the engine.
