Hi kartgreen,
Yes, i've got a great Honda Dealer just 14 miles from home. I took my bent link in and the owner of the shop (who's been there since the CA95 was new) searched through his NOS parts until he came up with a brand new 49 year old master link. Even after he located the NOS piece he still got out his micrometer to double check it against the original. He has some pretty good stories about the early years.
I've fired it up. I really like the method of timing the engine by temporarily installing the flywheel to set the crankshaft position. It makes it much easier for a near sighted guy like me to get the crank and the cam lined up exactly right.
It might be my imagination but it seems to be running quieter and smoother. Maybe I finally got the chain tension right this time.
Steve
