Thanks for the offer of sending me the manual, I have a PDF of it already

How do I reach TDC? Is that when the 2T mark is at the mark shows up in the viewing window of the crankshaft?

I assume I should hold the camchain tight so it doesn't get caught in anything since I've already removed the cams without putting it on TDC. I think the person who previously did this could have caused the break in the guides at the end by not putting it in a position that could cause tension.

Also, I accidentally ended up breaking the bolt that holds the top end to the rest of the engine Kawi makes these things out of butter. Replaced it with a nice SS bolt and washer that should do a better job.
