[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1291413, member: 18388"] If you are going to change shims or the CCT, zip tie the chain at the crankshaft end so the chain does not fall below the crank sprocket. I'm a fan of turning the engine with the socket (clockwise only). Any CCT you buy now will be the new design. Remove the throttle cables at the right handgrip, which will be enough slack to get the valve cover out. Pull out the big end (right) first. Install is the reverse. For removal of the coolant pipe, you'll have fun undoing the small clamp on the left end due to it's factory orientation (6 mm socket). [S]Undo the large clamp to the lower hose, [/S]pull the lower hose down to disengage it. Caution excessive prying on the coolant pipe will/can bend/distort. Wiggle it out. Edit add - before changing shims/CCT, rotate to TDC such that the timing marks on the end of the cam sprockets (hard to see on the right end) are aligned with the top edge of the cylinder head...... this is your reference when you get it all back together, along with the crankshaft timing wheel aligned also. With a strong narrow focus flashlight, you should be able to gunsight these marks. Edited again. [/QUOTE]
