Replacing wave runner timing chain svho sho Ho

[@MrBigg1995]

Best video ive seen yet on the subject. Way to mention that the wider chains dont fit past cog. This makes me think the latter heads didnt change any!

[@rickohlson3962]

Thankyou .The newer heads are the same for the 1800 nothing changed.They made thicker casting still cracked ..I need to make a video on how to get air out of the head I will soon .I believe the air in the head boils causing cracks .Ive got a video on rear crank snout how to remove.No one I know has made a video on that .

[@MrBigg1995]

Im about to mount a head. What to know about the head bolts? Also do you know if the sho cams will go in the ho?

[@rickohlson3962]

I would have to look up the spec again on the head bolts .they will fit but the cam gears are the issue .the hole in the middle of the cam gear doesn’t always fit.3 different hole sizes .

[@MrBigg1995]

@@rickohlson3962 yeah the cogs but your saying the bearing diameter is the same?

[@rickohlson3962]

Bearings are the same

Quick question if the dots not centered when it looks like it is what should I do move it a tooth to see if it will run better I’m stuck I’ve done this a few times and this one is being a pain in the. But let me know how do you think I get it back it’s almost like yours 2 degrees I think

[@rickohlson3962]

I wouldn’t move it a tooth that’s to much .I have a video one how to file the holes out to move the cam timing

So are these a free running engine? I have a 2015 that just snapped the timing chain.

[@rickohlson3962]

Yeah it’s the bigger chain .you can run it .change the cam gears to wider ones and bigger guide rails and leave the j small crank one .But the cam gears as far as I know have 3 different hole sizes so watch out for that .The cam has a snout the gear sits on snug .but that hole varies in different models

[@rickohlson3962]

It’s bent valves unfortunately.not free running
