I am in the middle of a rebuild and when I went to put on the timing chain.. it was blocked by a piece underneath. I loosened that piece and slipped the timing chain all the way on but it is still stiff against the chain.

I figured I have just bent it accidently but I am just double-checking.

 

Nothing should be touching the chain expected the damper. Don't forget crank and cam bolts are one time use, you need to replace them with new ones.

 

kk - and I will get those bolts replaced soon then.
Thanks.

 

Here's the only pic I had of mine when I did my cam install.


You can get those bolts at zzpperformace and intense racing
