Thanks Sean for telling me which side the slack goes on. It took a few tries to figure out how to get the slack out of the intake side, hold the cam in place with a wrench while letting the chain hang loosely on the exhaust side, then realize I needed to find and disassemble the cam chain...

Finally today I got the cams back in. Took me a few tries, even though I had them labeled I. The hardest part was figuring out how to get the slack in the cam chain on the cam chain tensioner side. But once figured out it was only matter of minutes. Cams in chains on, got the slack to the...

Wow, I'll pull it back out of the muffler and put it under the seat. The seat is nowhere near the motor table, crazy. I could not find that part in any microfiche. Thanks Rand!!!!!:eusa_dance:

Key ring maybe.

Well, I'll go with it doesn't belong to the bike,,,not sure what it went to.

Found this on the table my engine is on. Anyone make a guess?

Thanks Sean! Thanks Mabdcmb!

Aha! This is like an Indian Jones movie where one clue leads to another and in hindsight everythings pretty obvious. So the clutch mystery is solved. Woohoo! So the pressure plate has indentations cut out that match up with the indentations that match up with the inner clutch boss. How clever...

thanks will do!

Hmmm, that would've been a guess then. Which one is the pressure plate? I'll assume it's the first plate.

I am reinstalling the Barnette Clutch plates. I've put all the parts that I took off back on: One washer, one flat washer with tabs, one nut, one little ball bearing and the bolt looking thing that goes on last. Seems like there is room for more disks or do the clutch plates sit in the basket...

yep you're right Rusty. Two half circlips, one on each location.

Thanks for clearing up the circlip mystery Sean!

LOL,,,hmmmmm my Vmax will be an Rmax. lol. I must have dropped one half of that circlip, do you carry those also? I have the one half.

Hey does anybody know what this part is? I think it's a circlip. When I look in the service manual, it shows a full circlip, this looks like a half circlip. When I look online at other schematics it shows this as a half circlip. Any ideas on how it's to be installed is appreciated. Almost have...

LOL,,,he's my new bestest friend.

Thanks Bazwell! I could actually see light through one of the valves. It looks as though its not really centered, one side is a little higher than the other. I sent the head off to a buddy at MMI to see what he thinks. When I first got the bike home I found a ton of oil in the radiator hose, so...

Hmm, I wonder which Kawasaki oring works. I've seen pics on this forum of partially extruded orings. The way my elbow fits in there I can't imagine it coming out. There are three bolts holding the pipe in place. But hey since I'm running out of things to take off the bike I should do the...

Hey Maximus, the large chunk of metal is actually a large chunk of busted water jacket. Unless you're referring to the engine itself, LOL,,just kidding. After I took the heads apart I busted the water jackets to remove them. I have replaced all the orings that I can find. The ones in the oil...

I don't know how long it sat, the boy I bought it from knew nothing at all about motorcycles, I've been riding for 25 years, all sport bikes, all Yamaha, one vfr750 one Goldwing, I've ridden through alaska and down south through Mexico. I gave him 2 g's for this bike, thinking even if it was a...
