The last time I changed a BN1 cam sprocket, I found the groove in the
sprocket to be of incorrect depth so that the rubber tensioner stood up to
high, making it impossible to get the sprockets on. I am not sure of the
precise depth of the groove but I think it should be about 1/2 inch Norm Cay

Good morning listers,
The mechanic rebuilding the engine for my BN1 is having difficulty
reinstalling the cam sprocket.
The new timing chain tensioner is so "fat" that he cannot raise the sprocket
far enough to line up its center hole with the end of the cam. We've found
nothing addressing this problem in either the factory service manual or
Norman
Nock's book. Any advice from you all out there?
Thanks!
