So… this is my first rebuild and first time posting on a forum so please bear with me.
I took my Predator into the local shop and they tore it down and diagnosed the issue. I didn’t allow them to do the work and they gave my Predator back with top in in a box. I have been dealing with missing parts, and the lack of knowledge from not taking it apart.
I have the top end mostly put together but when I went to install the timing chain on the cams, it only fits over 1 of them. The tensioner is off the head and I can’t seem to get it on. The chain was most likely dropped t some point; could this be the issue? Also, I cannot turn the crank bolt to TDC anymore. it only moves a somewhat back and forth.
Anyone have any ideas on where to go from here? I have a Clymer manual on order but don’t think it will go into detail on this specific issue.
