what is the Decimal Tenths tip when setting the new chain please?

Also did you apply anything onto any of the gaskets before seating?

Adjuster torque is 20Nm + 45degree?

This is the video about marking the 18th and 19th link joint (14min 22sec) going left from the brass link and it needs to be facing you........then that is transfered to the other side of the chain so you can see it when mounting

=867

New gaskets come with a blue rubber attached to the metal and when torqued, squash and do the sealing.

AND yes I did the 20Nm + 45 degrees for the adjuster

awesome, well final parts arrived today so I have everything I need to crack on, only reservation is if the cam lock tool will be strong enough but if not I will weld it up.

Also got a tube of chain protect (liqui moly) included with the chain so will apply a bit of that to the new adjuster and see where it goes.

Watched all the videos I possibly can and with the guides on the forum it doesn't seem to bad of a job. Definitely over ordered some parts, somehow ended up with 3 adjuster bolts  :confused: but thats what happens when you're ordering parts at midnight after a 12hour shift
