[QUOTE="bterp67, post: 1305441, member: 76677"] With the cam chain on, the dots on the cam gears lined up where they were suppose to, right at the top of the head. The engine has never been apart before, so I don't have to worry about someone elses mistakes. (just mine now) So for now I lined up the dots and put a piece of paper on the bearing journal to lock it in place. When my gaskets come in and I can get the cylinder and head back on, I'll look at them much closer when the cam chain is back on. Everywhere I look on other forums, everyone says to [B]"Check the cam with a degree wheel"[/B]. I understand how to do this, but I am having no luck finding the stock cam specs. I can only find hotcam specs for their cams. I had to order a flywheel puller, so I can't check the $3.00 key that may be a problem yet. On another subject, why doesn't any of these Yamaha dealers stock parts I need. Even the simple ones. I have never bought parts for this bike and not had to order them(besides an oil fiter or plug). I called most of West MI looking for all of the gaskets, and no luck. When I call Lansing Cycle for my KTM parts, they have them in stock and shipped to my doorstep the next day. I was even in the U.P. for a week of riding a few years ago and broke a rear hub on the KTM. I drove to Zambon's from Newberry on a Monday morning to get there as soon as they opened, and he had a hub assembly for me. Try that at a Yamaha dealer. I guess I'm a bit sour about not being able to take the kid riding on a holiday weekend. [/QUOTE]
