My camshaft chain jumped some teeth while I was trying to replace the CCT. I have the timing mark under the clutch cover lined up with the T and the crank halves. However I'm not 100% sure how the camshafts marks go.

Do they both face each other pointing inwards toward the middle of the head?
Do they both face away from each other?
Or do they both line up in the same direction? either pointing towards the front of the bike or the back?

If anybody could clarify this for me that would be great.

I solved my own problem. Line up the "K" on crankshaft thats in the the clutch housing.
The intake cam marker lines up with the cylinder head surface and point back toward the rear of the engine.
The exhaust lines up the same way only faces the front of the bike.

Hopefully some one else can use this information.

Ooh you have me worried now. I saw a long thread here some time ago where people were discussing "wiring" up the chain to stop this and a load of other folks saying no need to worry. Did you do something different than simply take out old CCTV and replace with new? I an amateur wren her and was going to attempt this job myself....... Now not so sure
