350X Cam chain tension

[Somekindofjerk]

How would i go about adjusting the cam chain tension on my 85 treefittyX?

[Somekindofjerk]

So pretty much... take it appart and see if its all gummed and clean it up. Then reasemble it and reinstall it. But what i cant really read is how to make any primary adjustments to it.

[Somekindofjerk]

Alright that doesn't sound too hard. I have a cam chain slap and I'm thinking thats about the only thing it could be besides the chain itself or the valves being out of adjustment.

[Somekindofjerk]

Yeah thats what i figured. It looks like a set of 90 degree feeler gauges would be nice to have to check in frame valve lash.

Yep, I just bend them myself to a little less than 90 degrees.

Most of the old motors desperately need a new timing chain and tensioner guide. It quiets them down quite a bit....

[Somekindofjerk]

Valve lash for intake and exhaust are both .003 inches correct?
