New 550 from South Africa
« on: June 15, 2014, 03:22:40 PM »
Good morning all

Im a new 550 owner from South Africa , I picked up a 550 that stripped it's timing chain sprocket on the Cam side for next to
nothing. Yes i know i have taken on a hornet's nest but I'm determent to get here up and running again.

From what i can make out it's a 74 frame with a 77 engine , on closer inspection it's also snapped the Cam chain guide.

You all will be hearing more as the tear down progresses.
