I am going to change a cam chain or 2 on the K-Pox Kollection. While I haven't done it on a K, I've done enough others not to be worried about the process.
What I am a little confused about is what should be included in a cam chain kit! The usual suspects obviously have different ideas:
James Sherlock doesn't offer a kit, just individual parts.
Those who have done the deed, what should I make sure I have ready?
I am assuming (hoping?) the tensioner itself and bottom metal rail it pushes on won't need changing, so won't buy them unless necessary due to their cost.
Thanks,
Bill

- Moto Bins - Timing Chain, Upper Slide Rail, Vertical Guide Rail, Cover Oil Seal (Picture on website not working)
- Motor Works - Chain, 3 guide rails, 1 E clip, cam cover gasket (from picture)
- Munich Motorcycles, West Oz - Chain, 3 guide rails, 2 E clips, T cover gasket, cover oil seal. (From picture)
