Forgive me for being a newb here...im used to 2 stroke simplicity.
I have the oppurtunity to pick up a 1984 Honda XR250 for $100. Everything is good on it except for one thing....when he went to do some work to the head, he dropped the timing chain.
So....I need to put it back on and set the proper timing. I have never done this before. I figured I would just set the piston to top dead center and make it so the valves are closed when I hook it back up. Will this work? It seems like it should be more complicated than this. How do i do it?
