I took the head off again yesterday, cos Im anal. But mainly cos im stupid for loosing a shim.
I found there is no need to ever remove the sprockets. But it is essential to get it looking like the dots are lined up, and then putting the tensioner in and whilst holding it tightly down just turning the crank slightly to show you where they will eventually be when you tighten down the cam holders.
Then once everything is all torqued up and about to put the cover on, notice the top chain guide is still sitting on the bench, arggh, i learnt a lot yesterday.
