[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1302443, member: 6354"] Nope. the only timing-affecting thing I'd done was remove the exhaust cam to correct one valve's clearance, and I had both sprockets tied to the chain, and the chain also tied to the crankshaft sprocket. I'd run the shifter through its range before putting the case back together, to make that shifting video that's in my thread, so I knew the gearbox was good. I'd only dropped ONE bolt into the crankcase and retrieved it immediately with a magnetic stick, so there were going to be no surprises there, either. My biggest worry was whether it was going to spray oil from something I'd missed. turns out it sprayed (leaked, actually, but sprayed sounds worse :) ) water because I stupidly tried to reuse the O-rings on the top coolant pipe.
