Question for the experts...
I did a cam change and did a bonehead thing. After removing everything and then putting the new cams and camplate back in, I lost track of where I was at on the rear cylinder. I could no longer tell if I was on the compression stroke or power stroke.
So, I brought the rear cylinder to the top and lined up the cams, then rotated and brought the front up. I double checked that the lifters were on the heel of the cam lobes when the cylinders were at TDC on the compression stroke, so everything was installed correctly, except that I could have made the compression stroke the old power stroke and vice versa. I did start the bike and it runs good, no wierd sounds. I did notice it started sooner than usual, but I don't know if I'm just being paranoid.
So is it a big deal if I did do this, even though it seems to run good?????
I checked my diagnostics and there are no codes (not sure if it would show any, anyhow).
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
