If memory serves, that sounds like one of the special bushings that Moto
International used to manufacture before they started selling the
special sized o-rings. At least that is what I think I remember reading
in Guzziology...

Bushing was 1/2 inch long and same diameiter as orings. So could only get 3 orings on shaft. Any one else seen this bushing on their tranny shaft??

You really do have to clean the shit out of the engine bottom pan!! My timming sprockets had timming center punch marks instead of paint? Ran into a wierd thing with the clutch push rod, had a metal sleave on it! Could only get 3 of the 6 orings on to keep the oil in the tranny!! Hope it works!

Guzzilology is really intended to be a suppliment to the shop manuals. The V700/Ambo/Eldo Shop Manual (at least mine anyways) doesn't have any info. on timing the cam on chain equipped bikes, so you might need to get the V7 Sport/750 S/850-T/850-T3 or later shop manual for that. It's quite simple though - there are (or should be) paint marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. These should line up after the chain and tensioner are installed. I can scan the pertinent illustration and paragraph for you if needed. Guzziology says "Guzzi could have made this job easier if they had punched or scribed timing marks on the gears, but instead we got little dabs of paint. Fortunately they don't seem to wear off. When properly positioned, the two painted teeth of the cam gear are supposed to straddle the one painted tooth of the crank gear. The paint stipe leading to one of the cam gear's mounting holes aligns with the cam's drive pin. With the marks aligned, the cam paint mark should be at 10:00 (while facing the front of the engine)". I did a timing chain w/master link and Valtek tensioner on a friends Eldo a few years back and remember it as not being too hard. With the endless chain you'll need to pull the sprockets off for installation. Moto International sends a Help Sheet with the parts when you buy from them which has plenty of tips to ease installation. I can also scan this as well if needed. Cheers, Ted Ward wrote:
