A friend gave me his old bike (78-79 SOHC) that had been sitting a while with a broken camshaft (timing chain came apart and crunched the socket). I've tinkered with old bikes and cars before, but never to this extent.
My plan is to remove the engine completely and then just following the workshop manual as best as possible. My concerns are that I have limited space and the bike must be outside (under a cover) whilst I do this. I can move the engine inside when I've removed it.
As a newb, would anyone know of any pitfalls or gotchas I could run into? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
