RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Any Idea's on how to hold the cam gear from turning while re-installing it back on the crankcase... Seems mine wanted to wander around and engage at anything but the 6 o-clock position on the crank case...
Here's what I came up with...for my 180 Saito..
I used one of those flimsy temporary credit cards that are alway coming in the mail..
Cut a notch in one of the long edges (away from the embossed stuff) ....see below for the size of the notch in the .20 " thick card.. and slide the notched card from the front of the Cam Cover and engage the teeth that are level with case bottom....
Effectively locking the cam gear and preventing any rotation while you drop it into place.. when inplace put in the two rear cover screws to hold the cover while you slide the Credit Card Out........then replace the remaining two front screws and gently tighten all four down (alternately of course) Don't forget the paper gasket...
It works for me first time, everytime !!
