| Hi every one,just got hold of another VS750,bit of a rat bike but only bought for spares, anyway this guys had so work on the engine done Honed bores ,re ringed, but it has a rattling sound ? so dropped the lump popped rockers off to find cam chain tensioner fully extended to where there against the cylinder wall but BOTH chains loose ? by the same amount? i no its a 30k motor and chains wear but to the same amount ?? do they SPLIT ? and have chain link ? i can get chains of Evilbay from china for £20 each ! perhaps not the best quality ? but the engine will be a spare,as i have a 2003 VZ 800 spare as well any body no if they missed doing something or put the wrong guides in wrong ? before i got to the trouble of stripping it ANY help much appreciated
Cheers | |

| Well I decided to buy two new cam chains, as having pulled the engine apart I couldn't find anything wrong? Apart from floppy cam chains, so I will pop them in as soon as they arrive and fire it up!! I had the engine soda blasted before the strip down, so when it is rebuilt I will have it re-silver enamelled so it will look like a brand-new engine again! So I will then fully shrinkwrap it, and the dump it up the corner of the garage for the next 20 years?? LOL | |

| I'm not sure on your engine but are there timing marks on the cogs on each of the cams?? if so there should be a max/min distance between those marks documented, that should tell you if the chain has stretched to much, have a look at the parts diagrams on line and see if the guides etc look right etc. | |
