On the subject of rebuilding the engine: How do you torque the sprocket camshaft bolts while keeping the cam from turning? I can freeze the crank but that would mean I'm applying torque pressure to the timing chain. Advice please? thx
 
I'm no expert, but hat's the way I did it. Orient the torque wrench across the bolt opposite the one you're tightening to minimize torque on the chain. Tom
 
IMO the chain is plenty strong enough to take the torque. I just used a piston stop.
