Did you have the #1 cylinder set to Top Dead Center when you took the cams out?

and the KZ650/KZ750 Conversion ;)

There are marks on the cams where they should line up with the top of the head, at least that is the way on my 650's.
I do not own a 400, hopefully some one who does whill chime in.
Do you have a manual?
