did you have em checked after the liners were pushed in? you only gotta take the shine off buddy so you get a good seal when theyre run in.

i had an xs650 which snapped its camchain , on inspection , some c**t had used what appeared to be welding rod for rivets! (i used to make my own cam chain rivetters for my twins , but have one knocking about which cost 35 quid which is quite good)

we have them fitted and checked by a local engineering co gix ,if run in properly we never have any problems ,lift a head of any new bike or car and there is no sign of honing or glaze busting as we call it ( ffs ue,d think i knew wot i was talking about pmsl ) hey but its good to have some tech input lol
