95 ST1100 timing issue

After watching the video and listening to your comments, painful.....Your over your head. You already ignored the cam timing mark post which is the fix. Cams can not be put in anyway . Who cares if its exhaust or intake phase. Take the cams out, . , put belt on, find the timing marks on the camshaft install cams with the index marks aligned like the picture.

N.B. note the difference between ‘punch marks’ and ‘index lines’ on the ends of the cams. [forgive me, I don’t know who’s image this is for attribution (Doug W.?)]

After watching bits of that video, i can concur with others, get a manual and follow it... Problem solved. I would add... Get rid of that Dawn detergent. You realize that you are spraying oil and grease remover on parts that rely on oil, right?

Ok how about this, anyone gotta photo of cams and lobes when engine is at top dead center, and once everything is set I apply proper oil I just don't think anyone here it totally mechanically inclined cause it's really not that difficult for someone it figure it out just need a reference

It don't work, process of elimination, gotta time out the cam lobes by eye. "In over your head" it's not that difficult who has a photo of the cam lobes with engine at top dead center?

Not at all I'm attempting to troubleshoot all I'm getting here is follow the manual and in this case the manual is not of much use, need photo of cam lobes I think I got some though only for right side
