Top end reassembly issue

GlennR · 09-14-2019, 12:12 PM

I'm installing the 300cc piston kit in my Zongshen NC250 that is in my Pitster Pro LXR250f.

Everything "was" going fine until trying to reinstall the camshaft. The timing chain doesn't seem to be mating with the lower sprocket, which means the chain is too tight to get the left camshaft bearing up into place. I assumed that the timing chain would automatically mesh with the lower sprocket when I slipped it up onto the upper sprocket on the camshaft, but that didn't happen...

Does anybody here know what I'm dealing with & have any tips on getting it back together?

(I've reached the conclusion that repeating the same things over and over isn't going to work. :hmmmmm)

Thanks,

Is cam chain adjuster out of motor so chain has slack and the plastic chain guide put in right side up. Been awhile since I installed my 300 kit but don't remember it being too difficult to get it back together . heres some more info:
