    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cam Fitting Trouble -- Which Position

In the end for those that are following this thread for real practical data when doing this task on a 650E themselves I found that if the two notches in the end of the camshafts are facing each other and level and square to the upper head surface then all is well. That is what worked for me in doing this task.

Resurrecting an old post, but I wanted to point out my frustrations on my 8v gs750, which were amplified after rebuilding my engine with a resurfaced head and block deck, further adding to #1 sprocket arrow confusion... notches in the head are where to look when unsure.

And make certain to wind up the cam chain tensioner spring with plenty of preload with spring knurled nut off (reinstall locknut with threadlocker) and then follow the instructions of backing the setscrew off 1/4 to 1/2 turn and jamming it's locknut down. I didn't follow these instructions as precisely as I should have before, and my chain jump teeth on the crank sprocket a couple times before I realized my errors. Luckily no bent valves because I deleted the starter motor, you get a lot more feedback when kicking it with your foot to start
