    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i am doing the top end on my 77 750. when i took it apart the front chain guide came out with the block. in putting it back together and it looks like the guide just slides in to the front of the case. is this correct? if it is i assume that the guide pushes against the chain towards the back of the engine.

If I remember correctly, (its been awhile) the cam chain guides slide as you assume and threre is an indention/slot on each side that they are set into that keeps them in position. The front plastic is fairly short. The long one is the rear one.

thanks for the reply only the front one came out when i pulled it apart. this is the fist one that i have done and the service manual did'nt show how they went.
 
It just slides in and the top should sit flush with the top of the head and the two notches in the grooves.
