Hi guys, it´s been a long time.
After disassembling my ´84 GPz550´s top end to check things out and perform a gasket change, I had a lot of work:
Fighting with desperately sticky old gaskets, finding gasket kit, O-rings, new cam chain guide, cam plugs and other bits and repainting cylinder, head, valve cover and exhausts, among other things.
Now I´m about to put everything together again.
I understand that pistons #1 and #4 must be at TDC in order to reassembly the camshafts, using the alignment marks in the camshafts sprockets and the electronic ignition.
The named pistons must be at the most top position to be at TDC, right?
Please give some advice about it and how to check if everything about valve train/pistons sincronization before starting the engine, in order not to bent valves and mess up things.
Thanks a lot!
