Inspection time for the "R"

It's really nice to work on a bike that is mostly disassembled; so easy to get at the valve train.

Valve covers off and oil and gasket sealant cleaned for the surfaces. Loving the Testa head for accesibilty!!

When the layshaft is aligned with the mark on the crankcase and the "T" slots in the end of the Vertical cams are at the 5 o'clock position like above. Mark the wheels (yellow above) where they line up with the top of the head surface. Forget all the factory marks (red), they're useless!! The pic baove shows a cheap (Ebay) cam wheel holding to I decided to play with....it was a tight fit!!

The "T" marks on the H cyl. will be in the "3" o'clock position (pic above) that's where I mark the wheels (yellow) with the head surface.

Lay shaft at TDC Compression- H. cyl.
