    I've had both cams out on the Blackbird and can I get them back in with the
    timing marks lined up. Can I ****.

    Every time the cams are lined up the crank sprocket is out by a few degrees.
    Get the TDC mark ok and one of the cams is out.

    It doesn't make it easier when you can't see the marks on the face of the
    intake cam sprocket (1) or that the cam chain isn't loose enough to put it
    around the sprockets and then the CCT takes up the slack.

    Anyone had any experience of the best method?

    (1) due to the frame so transferred the marks to the back of the sprocket
    but they are a bit pissed!
