[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 757613, member: 1875"] I'm sorry I can't sugarcoat this response for you, really! When you remove the CCT, it's very easy for the cam chain to "bunch up" at the crank sprocket IF... you did not use wire ties to secure the cam chain to the crank sprocket before removing the CCT. Did you remove the right side cover over the cam chain and tie it? If not, you will be removing the camshafts and re-doing the entire timing. Or you will be paying someone else to do it and praying nothing is bent/damaged. The FJR will tolerate a 1-tooth error in timing without damaging valves, but it typically will run with that error, albeit poorly. I don't think 2-teeth off is survivable. [/QUOTE]
