Evo rebuild underway...

Pulled it mostly because I want it super clean to paint black and polish the fins. And for the experience of the whole kit and kaboodle.
Tranny coming out also, started leaking really bad,gonna dig into that also to see what else she needs.

For future reference you should relieve the pressure off the cam before you take the cam chest cover off. It can do damage to the inner cam bearing..

I didn't want to cut ignition wires so I pulled the cover and left on bike but I did close the valves first, slid off easily. I can't believe that ignition is30 years old.

How do I get the pins out of the piston, both clips off, book says they push out easily. They stop with a click noise, only move about 1/8" back and forth.
Also here is a pic of bad spot on cam lobe.
Cam bearing says torrington on it,has play in it, will replace if I can figure out how to remove it.

I got my new bearing at the stealership for $14 or so. It's marked Koyo B138. Pretty sure you can't get Torrington anymore, but the Koyo is a full complement replacement. A bearing supplier probably would have them way cheaper, but you might have to buy a dozen.....
