[QUOTE="Matty, post: 5927, member: 1339"] Thanks, but where can I find the technical information about the cams which I need in order to set the position with a dial gague and disc please - it is not in any of the books I have. The bike has done about 70,000 miles and I rebuilt the engine last year with bearings, new liner and piston, and steel main idler. This is the first rebuild of the bottom end since I first did it in 1959, but the timing gears are otherwise original and marked ex-factory. The question remains however about the diagram in the books - ie is this diagram for the engine at top dead centre or as the gears are marked for correct timing ex factory? - the camshaft marking is certainly where I would expect for the engine at TDC.
