4nomore Overhaul: Update #10: Timing Chain & Cam

Timing chain Cover, Chain & sprockets removed, and Cam removed today.

All that remains is the crank at this point.
 

Loosening the cam bolt without turning the chain was hard, so I used an air gun.
It was then tricky to re-loosen the crank bolt; eventually I got them both handtight so I could get both the crank bolt and cam bolt off.
 

  
 
 

  
The cam was tricky, I could only support the other end by reaching up through the bores and pushing up on the cam to enable it to clear the journals.  I have very tiny scratches on one of the lobes, but they're too small to photograph and I can't feel them.  I just need to worry about installing the new cam when the time comes.

Nice Blog, great to see you getting into the innerworkings of the engine.  It makes you appreciate all of the parts that have to work.  There are few things more satisfying than starting up and cruizing around pushed by an engine you put together from pieces.  Again kudos, keep us posted... Mike
