new to the site but not the quads.( mostly 2 strokes but got this 04 400ex and am psyched
I am going with a 416 11-1 piston ,port job,full c sparks shorty exhaust and stage 1 or 2 cam (undecided). I do mostly trails with som pit riding .
i am in the middle of pulling the head and piston i have the bike at top dead center and am ready to loosen up and pull the cam
anyway 1st and most important ?
1.do i just pull the cam chain tensioner out even without"the tool"
2.What the hell do i do with the cam chain
I really don't want to mess with the timing any helpful hints on dissasembling would be great and an opinion on wich cam 1 or 2
i have done reserch and have a manuel but this part on the cam and tensioner is vague.
