Insite,
With past experiences, as long as you align both marks on the intake/exhaust cams (@ TDC) "AND" rotate rotate the complete assembly afterward a couple of times
to double check your marks, you should be ready to roll.

However, I have never done it on this particular engine, therefore it would be nice if someone that actually has done it chimes in.

Great post, please keep the comments and pics coming
