I was trying to do this without removing the head. The lower sprocket
is worn and all I wanted to do is replace it without tearing the head
off or what's left of my hair out. This all started with an oil leak
around the breather canister housing. It's like a little remodeling
job in an old house. The small project turns into a major undertaking.
