O.K., since I already had the motor apart for the heads, I figured I might as well go a little further and check out the Timing chain, so I pulled the front cover carefully following the DETAILED write-up on gnttyp.org and the chain had about 5/8" of play and the nylon gear looked great, all teeth present and accounted for, but now before reassembly a few Questions:
1. Where the hell is this Oil deflector I keep hearing about, is it the cup-like sheet metal piece that came off with the top gear after I removed the 2 bolts????
2. There are NO dots on either gear (they say line up dot to dot)!!!
3. The smaller steel gear I would assume gets reused??!!
4. For re-assembly I guess I just slide on the smaller lower gear over the keyway on the crank, in fact thats the ONLY way to put it back on Again theres NO DOTS!!
5. Again on the lower gear does the LIP go toward the motor, or away?
6. On the Upper gear theres only one way to put it back on as well, Bolt it into the 2 holes!!
Thanks in advance for any replies!
