Cams must really hate me... Apologies in advance if this has already been posted and I missed it. I've got a 83 and I just pulled the pistons to check the rings and put new gaskets on the top end. I think I have the cam put in correctly, but when I turn the 17mm bolt on the stator, it "jumps" past the TDC mark. When I don't have the head top on (i.e. the rocker arms aren't in place), it rotates just fine and the TDC seems stable. Upon further inspection, I realize that the rear valves of both cyclinders open and close correctly, but both front valves don't. It appears this is causing the system to "jump" when the cam lobes come around. Any ideas for a newbie?
thanks, CB
