Topic: Camchain Crankshaft problem

[Steelo]

I've replaced the head on the K7 and now when I seat the camshaft and attach the chain sproket the chain isnt contacting the crankshaft it spins freely. What have I buggered up?  Do I need to remove the sump to see why the camchain isn't seating on the crankshaft.

Did you drop the cam chain during your repair?

The chain is apparently not running on the sprocket. Loosen off the adjuster fully, you should be able to push the roller back with a screwdriver from above through the chain tunnel then tighten the clamping screw.
Now just let some slack chain down into the crank area and move the chain back and forth and pull up to seat the chain on the sprocket... trial and error, I fear.
Removing the sump should let you see the sprocket, I don't know if you could touch it though.

All fixed - bit of tea bag like jiggling and finally found the sprocket I was missing it by > < that much lol

Happy Chappie now!!!

Thanks for advice
