i have recently swapped heads on a gsx600f pre 98
now it is really stiff and the starter motor struggles to turn it......
i have checked the cam timing 4 times now and they are deffinately correct...
i thought maybe it was the camchain been too tight wich i have also checked....
so then i thought perhaps it was the valve clearences wich are also correct!
now a friend has told me that the cam caps (the caps that bolt the cams down that is ) are not interchangeable because they are made specifically for the engine they came out of as they are bored straight through seperately on each engine and this could be causing the stiffnesss because if i have changed some they will be out of linement to the others??
i did change 1 as the thread was stripped for the rocker cover!
is my friend correct in this or are they interchangeable, and if so is there anything you can think of that could be causing the engine to turn over so stiff........ i cant even push it off as the whheel locks up and the starter motor will only just turn but then struggles and gets hot!
hope anybody reading this can put some valuble input into this one as me and my friends are baffled!!!
