Zed, thank you. I can now confirm that it’s just a a question of a little sanding to get them going
I Built a little contraption with an isolation tube, so I could do it uniformly and at the same time protect the valve seal.
it has worked a treat. Saved a bunch of cash and time on this one!

Some advance this weekend. Cams are in place. Would like your opinion on the pictures. Intake cam is spot on with the head line, but the exhaust looks a bit “up”. Do you guys think this is right? Everything turns nicely and was not as difficult as I expected.
My only real concern has been the bolts for the camshaft caps. Manual calls for 1.7 kg-m, and some of those bolts were “feeling” really soft for that torque. Have gotten all to 1.2 kg. Two of them won’t “lock”. Kinda scary.
I would appreciate your feedback on my “arrows”. Thank you guys!

I was looking at Jonas’ thread on his engine rebuild and as Scirocco pointed out, I think I am one tooth off in my exhaust camshaft,
with the arrow pointing slightly upwards, but the indentation at the edge of the camshaft not being completely parallel to the head.
will have to redo it…
