ENGINE MOCK UP / BREATHER UPGRADE FOR THE ROYAL ENFIELD 750 INTERCEPTOR

I upgraded the breather size to accommodate the mods made to the entire crankcase breathing system.

Thanks to the suggestions made by a Canadian Interceptor guru.

You can see the timing case changes in the following pictures. The completed case and the before.

I recently took some time to work on my long overdue RE. The main part of the motor and tranny have been in the frame for some time now. I just had to put on the timing cover and finish the cylinder and head assembly. Well, all was going very smoothly until I noticed the cam chain tensioner cam was pulling towards the rear of the engine. I disassembled the cam chains and tensioner and found the hole for the chain tensioner cam IS OBLONG. OK, so I call one of the locals on our list and ask him for his advice as I know he will talk me through this MINOR problem. I’m sure, many others have encountered and resolved this same issue with some glue and toothpicks and I need not make the appointment with my Psychologist that I foresee in my future. OK, so my friend is unable to tell me what I want to hear. 

The hole that I am talking about, is the one to the right of the brass screw.

UPDATE: I have been able to make the adjuster work (in trial) by placing a larger washer over the adjusting plate. This seems to assist with keeping the adjuster aligned for assembly.
