Well guys I began takin the engine apart last night to inspect for any damage, and also to take my head off to get Ported and Polished, CDRacing is doing it for me. Anyways I have a few questions about some things I ran into:
1) When you take the cam sprocket off you have to rotate it once to get to the bottom bolt, which makes you looseTDC. Do I leave it like this or do I need to rotate it to TDC again. I have everything off, meaning my cam, sprocket and head and I can see the piston is 3/4" down into the cylinder. Let me know on this.
2)When I put it back together do the lobes face up or down, When I took it apart they were down.
3) Question about gaskets: 1) The head gasket is the one that is under the cover correct? So then the gasket that is inbetween the cylinder and the head is the base gasket? Do I have this right? When i order my new gaskets I want a xr400 head gasket and what base gasket?
Thanks alot, I will keep you informed on the progress
