Sounds like a lot of work to save $35.00

No kidding. You will still need a degree wheel, dial indicator and piston stop

what keeps the sprocket from slipping in those slotted holes? yes I know the two tiny bolts that hold it  ;), but just seems that with all the heat vibration spinning ect. that it might slip around?

we all trust your gut feelings but the truth is it doesnt slip.

Geez guys, way to discourage guys from doing their own thing.... :(

Hey bucky, if you got a rotary table, you could be drilling discs, I am thinking, and make some bucks..

 speaking of which, that is what I should be doing as well..

 I have to say shipping parts around the country, is not as cheap as it once was...

Frank...that's not my purpose at all. The slotted sprocket is new meaning no wear....that's a good thing. Time is money....setting that stuff up is a PITA....espescially a "real" rotary table. I do not know....it just seems like a bunch of BS to me UNLESS someone doesn't make the sprockets. This happened to me the other day with some 1983 GPZ750 sprockets.
  35.00 is probably cheaper than the OEM part now. Why reinvent fire and the wheel? ;)

Here's the big question....is this even for an engine being built right now?? Or is this an exercise??  ::)

Dont start on sprocket wear, or you can start looking for NOS or lo miles cranks.. they should have 2wice as much wear as the top sprocket... ;)

 what some dont realize is, some of us like tinkering, even if its an unneeded widget.. working on your own stuff is more fun than work...

 setting up camsprockets on rotary table is pretty simple, redrilling easy, slotting, a bit harder.

 to quote, being able to say you did it yourself.... priceless
