Messing with cams and chain...nerves and a 3-chain

[Geof3]

I would say, as long as everything in locked down, and marked, and assuming nothing moves (shouldn’t) you should be good to go. After some reading it does seem there is a bit of m96 voodoo when rebuilding, but if care is taken it should not be an issue. I say you have all the elements... go for it.

A busted spring does not give a loss of compression. Bent valve or hole in the piston does. May be a bit more wrong with it than you think.
