I felt as if this was the day for dumb stuff to happen.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
BigBubba don't feel bad, Today I was going to pull off my valve cover because of the crappy gasket I put on it in the dunes, Well I went along as normal Set it to TDC , pulled the plastic, gas tank , valve cover , ect. While I was inspecting everything just to make sure everything looked good I noticed that my cam was not lined up with the flat spot on the cylinder! So I checked the TDC again and noticed that it was right. But the cam was one tooth advanced ( I think) Towards the front of the bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I found out that when I put the cam in I used the wrong timing mark![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
Luckily no damage to the valves or piston. I'm sure it will run stronger now.
I guess this is what happens when you get in a hurry.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I think the 3 of us use the same mechanic.
