[QUOTE="Mr. BR, post: 1173910, member: 28246"] I went through this on my '05 a few months ago and I had to fool with it a while to get the timing correct. I'm not sure what you're looking for on the cam sprockets but I used the punch marks on both cams (@ #4 cyl.) and aligned them with right facing arrows on the cam bearing caps on both cams (my Yam shop manual states this too). The REAL issue was that the cam chain kept slipping off the crankshaft sprocket due to the CCT being retracted. Besides having the chain tie-wrapped to the exhaust cam sprocket, I also had to tie-wrap it down below at the crank to keep the chain tight and engaged with the crank thereby ensuring the timing and allowing there to be enough slack up top to get the @$!#! chain over the intake sprocket. Going on memory here but that's what I remember. Don't give up! I'm sure others will speak up and help you out! Regards, Brendan [/QUOTE]
