CB 550 FOUR 1978/79
« on: May 31, 2008, 03:08:37 AM »
I'm rebuilding a CB 550 four.I am busy re assembling the engine and I've just put a new cam chain tensioner in.I am not sure if the body of the tensioner is supposed to slide or clip into a hole or slot down at the bottom inside the engine,the Haynes repair manual is not very clear on this. Is there anyone out there who can give me a bit of advice?
                                   Thanks Sascot

Thanks L.A.B. I will persevere now to try and get it in there ,wasn't having much luck. At least now I know there is a slot down there.Thats a really good schematic drawing where do you get it?
