Heads,

I'm Changing the Cam on my 1986 R-80

Had to do head work by Ted Porter after discovering during a routine valve clearance check that one of the valves had receded to 0.00" after 3000 miles...

Ted also sold me on the 1000 Upgrade, so pulled the jugs and checked the lifter lobes, found one of them trashed...

So now the project has evolved to a camshaft/followers/Crank Timing Gear Chain replacement.

How does one pull the Cam Sprocket/Cam Assy out of the front... I removed the 2 bolts retaining the front Cam Bearing and tried to remove the assy.... It's in as tighter than I want to pry.....

Ordered the "Front Set Tooling" from Cycle Works (Thanks again Bum) for $138.00 to do this.

Any pointers would be appreciated..
