Help I think I screwed up?
I have a 99 Superhawk with only 8000 miles on it, a month ago it started to make a knocking noise from the front, I turned off and when I try to restarted the bike the engile was locked, everyone I talked to said is the CCT, si i went ahead and took the rear valve cover and it looked ok to me the cam chain did not look loose so I went ahead and like a dumb took the cam shaft holders and you know whta happen next, I can't put the camshafts back because I did not loosen up the CCT? what can I do? I think the CCT that when bad is the front one and not the rear one. Any help please.

I think is worst
I took my fron sparplug today and the tip of the sparplug looks like if got hit with a hamer, I also took the whole valve case out and there were to 6mm bolts that were broke. I also took the oil pan off to check if there were any pieces of metal, and guess what there were some small pieces of metal. so I dont know is is worthed to keep digging in or just cut my losses and sell the bike for parts. I only pay 2500 for it.

Actually they can be retracted... otherwise you'd be up a creek when you removed the cams to shim the valves. Remove the 8mm bolt.. behind that is a flat head type screw... wind that clockwise to retract the tensioner.

rebuild is pretty cheap with a donor engine
I threw a chain on my hawk and cracked the cases. New cases were 1500 bucks my cost as an employee. I found a donor engine for 250 bucks. Took what i need and replaced what was needed and built a whole new engine for under 600, my cost that is
. it is a very very very simple engine to rebuild. And if you need help, just buy the Honda Service man. Pretty good step by step foryou first timers, and fair to decent tips for us salty dog engine builders. but for your problem, definately a complete tear down sorry dude
