Welcome - Didn't notice that no one had answered. I will try and hit all these things if I understand what you are looking for:

tighten order with left in this drawing #1 cylinder:

...12...10...06...02...04...08...
13.............................14
...11...07...03...01...05...09...

The periods were put in to maintain spacing and #13 and #14 are the 6mm bolts on the ends.

---

For cam timing, rotate the crankshaft via the 17mm nut on the end of the crankshaft under the points cover and NOT the smaller nut (14mm)... anyway, rotate where #4 piston is at TDC. There is a > mark on the exhaust cam sprocket. Line this up with the front gasket mating surface of the cylinder head. Make sure you pull on the cam chain in front so that it isn't binding as it will mess up the count when you place the exhaust cam in. When you have the > mark pointing towards the front of the bike, count the first pin ABOVE the > and it will be PIN #1... count to PIN #28 counterclockwise and put your intake cam in with the 28T arrow pointing at that 28th pin. The pic below sort of explains... it was a pic of someone else's bike I used and put in the text.

Last torque cam cap bolts for 79 and later models to 12 foot/lbs.
