The gearbox is also really stiff, which I'm hoping will loosen up with use. A...

Re: Genesis rebuild

Re: Genesis rebuild

Hi, The number 1 piston must be at top dead centre. This is when the crank timing mark shows T. Next line up the timing marks on the cams with the marks on the cam caps.

Re: Genesis rebuild

Surprisingly I haven't picked up any issues with the wiring at all. I was expecting some given its age.

Re: Genesis rebuild

Re: Genesis rebuild

Hi, thanks fo the compliments. I really admire the work you have done with your fighter, it looks stunning. The timing chain was a little stretched but still within the useable limits.
