the marks that you use on the cams to set their timing are on one side only from what i remember so if that is the case, then the marks for both cams should both be on the same side . . if they are not, then one of the cams is backwards.

a photo of the timing marks on the cams might help.

hope you can see the timing marks

Ok wait a minute. I reread, reread, looked at the pics, and then I had to refuckulate on this one.

You obviously have no idea how to install a cam chain.

Get a service manual.

"I hope you can see the timing marks" LOL. I hope YOU can see them.
 
I meant the marks on the cams, because Barnet who was actually trying to help me out, said something about the marks being on the same side.

DohcBikes, instead of being an ass why don't you fuck off

Why do you think there's a help forum on this site? Seriously how old are you..?

Fucking pathetic man...
 
Here's some real advice.

Your engine is a very close tolerance engine. Do not mistime the cams, even by one tooth.

Cam timing is simple. This thread is 3 pages long. It's not that I think you're an idiot or anything. I just don't think you've put as much thought into this as you are asking others to. For that I have no cookies.
 
You're so far off the mark from what I was originally asking. I've read the shop manual, I know how its all supposed to work but my question was why won't the chain fit around the cams. You assumed the pics I sent was with everything lined up when I wanted to know if, by some long shot, they were in wrong.

I don't have the stock cam towers either, so some of the timing marks were shaved off which makes this even harder for a first timer. On top of all that, I have to sprinkle on the fact that you're an asshole who, I'm hoping, can't speak English well enough to understand a simple forum; because its either that or you can't read well enough to give actual advice.

Thanks for what little help you gave, as for the rest...
 
The exhaust came looks like it's close but the inlet seems to be several teeth out. It is hard to see the tiny chisel mark or indent in the cam and harder to see the missing cam tower mark, but they should be at the midpoint.

Question: Is the cam chain tensioner out of the motor? It's hard to get it all to line up with it in place.

Perhaps you might understand what he said if it was in a language he might think you are more familiar with.

"eres un gilipollas"

"sei uno stronzo"

"vous êtes un trou du cul"

"Du bist ein Arschloch"

"είσαι μαλάκας"

"你是一个混蛋"


Ahora que es jodidamente divertido!

I love you guys. You've helped me get over my addiction to crack cocaine and The Shopping Network. I hope you don't mind if I hang out.

+1 what Teazer said.... also.. im sure you are just showing us the picture to show the location of the cam... but doesn't the cam follower need to go in first? I can't see if its already in there.

I found a manual online... hesitant to post a direct link, but if you need it, I can share it in PM. Looks like the followers have an eccentric for adjusting the valve lash. I don't have a whole lot of experience... but it looks like an interesting process.
