I have gotten my heads back from the machine shop, and am putting the cams back in. The guide says to put 16 rollers between the notches on the 2 Cams. I took some pix just so I could get feedback from ppl who have done this before. I would hate to put it in, and bend more valves once I start it up for the first time. Please advise.

Bentley is wrong on this. This has come up several times here and TOF. Did you search?

I did a search, all I found was another post regarding changing out the tensioner gasket. It kinda helped, but I was hoping for a "Yeah, that looks right" response before I put it back on the block and find out it doesn't work, and have to remove it all from the head again. It's just too much work to do it twice. I know it looks good to me, but to make me feel better, I would just like a definate, you know?

Thanks,
Andy

also, everything I have read says to put 16 links "between the timing marks". It gets me, cause when I got the heads back, the cams were still together and there were 15 links in between. Do I have to count links from one notch to the next, or is it definately in between?
