Does anyone know of any informative web sites pertaining to the predator? I am rebuilding one for a friend and I need the valve clearance specs, cam timing specs, and bolt torque specs. I am redoing the whole top end. It dropped an exhaust valve at high rpm and pretty much destoyed the entire top end. I suspect the crank needs to be @ TDC firing and the cam markings straight up (at top) for cam timing. Am I correct? I may just have to get him to buy a service manual.

 

First off, get the service manual......the pred is very picky about how it goes back together!!!! Ask questions, if you don't know something!!! The timing is kind of complicated.....so definatley read the manual....

Pred Manual



A site that might help when putting back together.......kinda tells/shows how to do the cams/timing



I think there is like 17 links in between the cams......can't remember, I can ask if you end up with trouble. The gold links do not matter.....just make sure it is timed correctly.....

 

Thanks for the post !!! That is a big help. Pretty much everything I needed!
