Just before installing the CAM's this evening, I noticed a difference between what I have and what the Service Manual says I should have.

Both sprockets are mounted using the Exhaust mounting holes.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank You

Stephen




 
Ah Ha - a mistake in the Clymer Manual....

Once again - Thank You Very Much Steve!!!!!

Stephen

PS - Just checked and the Factory Manual is correct............

I found the same issue on my 05. Upon disassembly I found both intake and exhaust sprockets to be bolted to the cams through the round countersink, but I am confused by your answer, Steve.
Are you saying to use the square countersink holes on the intake cam for ZX1000 engines?

I have both the Clymer manual and the factory manual. The Cylmer shows to use the square countesink for the intake and round for the exhaust. The factory manual shows using the round countersink for both cam gears, but the accompanying text and drawing caption is poorly written in the factory manual which only confuses things further.

Which is correct? Round countersink for both cams or round for exhaust and square for intake?


Thx,
Terry.
 
Ah yes, now I see my mistake. When I read your first reply I saw ”ZG” and not “ZX” as you had written. Can I blame my mistake on old age? ;)
Thanks for sorting it out for me.
Also the cam lobes are very pitted. Was this a problem on certain model years?
