Original Denso U24ESR-N spark plug with 85 miles on it Closeup reading of Denso plug - picture 1 Closeup reading of Denso plug - picture 2 Closeup reading of Denso plug - picture 3, nice clean plug, mixture looks good! Front view of e-cam with decomp bump protruding Front view of e-cam with decomp bump recessed Rear view of e-cam - picture 1 Rear view of e-cam - picture 2 Helpful hints for this mod: 1) I only had to remove the e-cam assembly - I left the intake cam assembly alone. 2) Don't remove the cam chain tensioner until you have found TDC by turning the engine counter clockwise, otherwise the chain will slip! 3) Use a sharpie to mark the 12 o'clock marks on the cam chain for BOTH cams incase you accidently slip the cam chain. 4) Once TDC is found, tie the wrench down with a zip-tie to keep everything from moving. Also zip-tie the intake cam to the cam chain so that it won't slip. 5) Even though the space is tight, I found it easiest to put the 'C' clip on the cam, then the cam into the cam cover, then the whole thing onto the head (all while connected to the cam chain) - if you do it the other way, i.e. put the cam on the head, then the 'C' clip, then the cam cover, you may miss align the cam cover over the cam so be careful! 6) Once the cam cover is on, while the cam tensioner is still off, turn the e-cam (by hand, just slightly since there is still slack, not with the wrench) to make sure it moves freely before installing the cam tensioner. Then cut the zip-tie holding the wrench in place and turn the engine counter clockwise with the wrench and make sure everything is moving properly and freely before putting the head cover on. I used a zip tie to keep the wrench in place (tied to the foot peg) This is how the cam lobes should line up looking from the rear of the cams - picture 1 This is how the cam lobes should line up looking from the rear of the cams - picture 2 This is how the cam lobes should line up looking from the rear of the cams - picture 3 |
