Yes on the cam... one tooth off. Thats what happens when you clay check, confirm its good, and then have to tear back down for a different reason. You see, last year I bent the cam bolts (backed out of the gear) on my A bike and subsequently put them in with Loctite.
So....now I had this engine together, but got nervous whether I Loctited them. I pulled it back apart, redid the Loctite on the cam bolts, after removing the cam gear and cleaning out the Loctite I'd already done. By this time its late in the evening, hot, tired, and swatting mosquitos. Putting the cam in one tooth off was pretty much de riguer at that point.
Now for another lesson. Sunday night, just before I shut the engine down from the 30 second run without coolant (recommended to melt the glue on the headgaskets), it started fluffing the front cylinder. I had pulled the lever on the Pingle as soon as it fired, therefore the event did not seem abnormal. Today, I was putting firesleeve on the fuel lines. I use a small diameter punch in the fuel hose, to keep the fiberglass strands out of the fuel line (having stuck a float needle from this issue, two years ago). After getting the sleeve in place, I pulled out the punch. Chunks of gritty rubber fell on the floor.
At that moment I realized I had used this section of fuel line with some E10 pump gas run through it, about a year ago (transferring some gas). After cleaning out the carb (did both, just in case), I called it a day.
Gentlemen, if you have EVER had E10 in your race bike fuel lines, watch out.
