Hi all,

Im currently at uni as some of you may know, and my motorbikes at home with no cams in at the minute, they were niced a chewed up. So i sent them off for re-machining. They are now sat at home waiting for me. Im coming home next week for a couple of days anyway so im hoping to spend the time getting it fixed but i dont wana come home to find im missing a vital part so i cant do it.
So my question is what do i need to replace the cams, check the clearances and get it running again. Heres what ive already thought of:

New oil + filter,
Workshop manual
standard tools (ive already taken it apart so have all i need there)

and for the clearances:
micrometer(for checking shims)
feeler gauge



can anyoe think of anything else i need? or any advice on doing this?

thanks

Mikkel

DTI for checking you are at TDC when timing them up??

Can't add to your list, but have to commend your choice of bike... my first sports-bike!

Blue 'H' plate ZXR400 with Micron can and Pirelli Dragon Corsa's... happy days!

without sounding stupid, whats a DTI? Its all still aligned with the timing marks that it was set on before i took the cams out so its still at TDC.

Thanks will, i have a copy of the service manual but thanks for the offer.

Verynice scootz, mines a black P plate with a micron can theres a couple pics in my archive
