Jack,

The previous owner screwed things up with those stupid white marks. True, it did run OK, but it was a Mickey Mouse way to get it right. My guess is that they removed the sprockets from the cams to replace seals or something, but then didn't get the sprockets bolted back on in the correct rotation. So rather than fix it right, they jury rigged the marks.

You need to expose the LH ends of the cams to get the slots horizontal while at the same time getting the sprockets indexed back to their CORRECT marks.

Until you do this, you are going to remain lost in space and still not know where you're at.

Check the sprocket part numbers and make sure they didn't get swapped accidentally.
