Thanks. I ordered the gasket set online so now its a waiting game. In the meantime I'll be putting the cams back on. How did you install your cams? I'm reversing the pelicanparts procedure. Since the lifters aren't pressurized I'm guessing the cams will be easier to bolt back on thereby reducing the risk of breaking them?
As for timing it, I purchased the timing tool plus I zip locked both sprockets to the cam chain for an added measure of security.
