Success !!!!!
Went back to the bike, took off the cover, and there, first look, noticed that the lobes at the end of the cams were facing the same direction.

Hope you sacked your mechanic friend ?

Are you sure that they are in correctly. I can't remember as it's been a while but can you put the sprockets on wrong??

That's what I had to do. I started getting upset because it kept going back together one tooth off CCW. After about 5 tries, I rotated the intake cam CW one tooth and it went back together OK.

Once again lads, many thanks for all your input

Good to hear! I was wondering about that intake cam. When we fed the chain through that was the one who gave us fits by "jumping" the chain while cranking it engine around. And absolutely 3AM my eyes would have been shot!

Nice work.

Thanks for the atta boy too Steve...
