Big day today. Was able to finally mount the cams....twice!

After tinkering for a while to get the bottom/exhaust cam to seat into its drive sprocket and getting everything torqued down....I did a victory lap around the shop. Once back down to earth, I grabbed my next baggie of bolts which contained the 3x5 note card and 4 bolts. The card read "Head Bolts-3 external, one internal".

WTF? Internal?

It was at this time, he realized he ********* up.

I even remember thinking when I was tearing down...'Don't want to forget about that one'...

It was located behind the chain after it looped over the intake sprocket. The only way to get to it....undo all the progress of mounting the cams and start over.

The second time was much easier...probably had the whole thing done in 20 minutes.
Surprisingly little amount of torque on cam caps @ 10nm/7.5ft lbs and for the exhaust cam sprocket mounting bolts at 13nm/10.3 ft lbs...
