[QUOTE="bhkfjr, post: 661212, member: 19229"] Thankyou Howie, exactly what I was looking for. Now I know how to think about this and what to look for.and how to talk about it somewhat intelligently. It appears that if the sprockets were installed incorrectly it would be a major league goof and the bike wouldn't run. It also appears that when you lock the cams down, any slack in the chain could rotate a sprocket out of time and that this is the point at which to double check that all is still lined up. With the cam lobes at 10 and 2 and all sprockets in time do the holes in the cams automatically line up with the marks in the casing or is that a fine tuning thing done at some other point in the procedure??
