91 Ultra. setting timing EV 27 Cam swop
Dont want to make any mistakes at this point. With the timing mark on the pinion gear at 12 o clock and the cam gear lined up at 6 o clock what position should the cam lobes for the front cylinder be in . The breather gear is also lined up with cam gear. Also... as I havent dismantled top end what position should the flywheel be at (tdc. or what)
added....Local news Police Helicopter crashes into local pub approx.1 mile from my home. 8 dead.
Civilian Pilot & 2 Police Officers in Helicopter killed + 5 others in pub. Many seriously injured.
I used to drink in the pub regulary! Bungo Glasgow UK.

As for lobes, if you got the gear on correctly the 6 o'clock timing mark will be exactly opposite the notch in the back of the cam flange and this notch will be at 12 o'clock. The cam lobe nearest you will be pointing North East or half way between the 1 and the 2 on an analogue clock.

Flywheel will be in the right position because you haven't taken the crank gear off so don't worry about that.

When I checked the end float on the Camshaft it was 0.020 before tightening Cam cover with gasket in situ. When I tightened (slowly & evenly)Cam cover screws the Camshaft had no end play,everything went "tight".
Still original bushes in Camcover.
I did swop Oil Seal on Cam case at Cam shaft end.
Any suggestions?

Camshaft moves back & froward easily by hand pushing the lobe/s from inside
shifter block hole and also from notched end of Camshaft in timing recess.
Cant imagine anything would be out of line as I havent swopped bushes on Cam case..

Hi HD,yes, it is a lot of squish. Have double & treble checked everything.

Managed to get it sorted. I changed the order of tightening screws on the Camcover. I had tightened them evenly as I said. Anyway all is well and with adequate end float. Now its on to fitting the S & S easyfit pushrods inc. new seals top & bottom on pushrod tunnels. Thanks once again to yourself and HarDlife + others for advice. Please keep me informed of any problems that you anticipate I could have fitting thr p.rods etc.
