    Well got er all figured out, cam gear bolts locktite, tripled checked timing & cam lobes down & all lubed up. HondaBond was too old to use so I resorted to red high temp rtv again. Light coat, put cover on, waited 1hr & torqued down. Clutch cover on, Valves set at.004 as per Webcam. Tripled checked that too. 
     

    Engine swap is about to start!!!!

    Another 424 ready for action!!! New cable, bearings, seals & slide springs!!!!

     

     

    Lesson learned! No Amazon bearings! I thought I’d try them for the price. COMPLETE GARBAGE!! Shafts had play like they were beat out! So I had to eat the cost, go get 2 more seals & good bearings! I knew better, but thought I’d try!

    Yep , I can see the ledge in your last  pic ---   you right , it is a tight fit , it was tight before I ever put the adjuster in

    Ok, so even though it’s tight I should be good to go? I just wanted confirmation, as Ive never seen this before. (But again, never installed a 250 on a 300 either.) So it’s new to me. Just don’t want to put too much stress on bearings ect.

    Interesting as it does look different. My dot is to the right, my lip is in the inside. Mine looks the same as one I seen on FB Page & not like urs. Interesting. I’ll do more research before I close it up. I bought it from a local slavage/atv/motorcycle store.

    So the chain is super tight! I have yet to loctite the gear bolts. The timing mark is on the T, she’s TDC, tensioner in lines look pretty darn good now & cam lobes down…. I’ll rotate the motor few times to make sure she’s still all lined up. I just don’t like how there is ZERO play in the chain AT ALL.

    Thinking my clutch discs possibly jammed up. There is no play. I was sure I checked them. I’ve got cover off & shifts & turns over fine now. Gonna really check this out as I want this motor together.

    Have 4 cables installed. Had an issue with one where it was kinked crushing inner cable sleeve. Ended in breaking but saved it. Added a hose & will add clamps. Not super happy with the way ends came out. I had too much wind & am going to fix them… but four more 424s about to come alive!!!

    For my rims, like I did, I don’t do anything but 80grit scuff & blow with air compressor. Then just spray.. lasts usually 3 years…. I do let it cure for days to weeks before I get out.
