    camchain timing markscan you tell me where

    can you tell me where i can find a diagram of camshaft timing marks as there is marks on the cam but they dont look as if they match up to anything else its a gs 750 16 valve

    on the 16 valve 1100's, There are 2 arrows on the ex. cam. 1 points straight toward the gasket surface toward the front, must be exactly level with the gasket surface, the 2nd arrow will be pointing straight up. The arrow on the in. cam will also point straight up, & if my memory serves me right, there should be 20 chain link pins, not links but pins, between the straight straight up arrow on the ex. cam & the straight up arrow on the in. cam. When counting the pins, the pin straight up from one arrow is 1, and the pin straight up from the other arrow is 20. Gee I hope 20 is the right #, I haven't done this in about 18 yr. Sorry, don't know where to look it up, but in a service or repair manual. Wouldn't attempt this without a manual

        You have a good memory, that's exactly how I remember doing it last as well.

          Under the ignition crankcase cover you also need to first line the crank trigger up with the 1-4 cylinders (left). Behind the ignition plate you will then line the T with the arrow. This will be top dead center. Very important to have the crank trigger facing left or you will be 180 degrees off. Then install your cams as stated before.
          Install your cam chain tensioner and recheck said timing marks after rotating the engine at least a full turn.
