Honda CB900C DOHC Cam Chain Tensioner Bolt Strip Repair

This video shows the repair of a stripped-out upper cam chain tensioner bolt without removing the engine. Two methods are shown. One requires removal of the valve cover then moving the intake cam so the cam tensioner rod can be pushed back out of the way for the repair. The second leaves the tensioner rod in place. The video applies to all early 80’s DOHC Honda 4-cylinder engines including 750, 900 and 1000cc. It probably applies to the 1100cc 6-cylinder.
