Basically - how do I do it please?

[TheBoy]

crank in the safe position (60degrees or whatever).

Then put both cams on one bank to match markings on back plate, then pop in lock. Same for other bank.  Then set crank to tdc, and pop belt on

.. if you've got the pullies off, set cams to the approximate locations shown here when fitting them : http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152565319
With crank at a safe position (fit the heads and cams with the crank at 30 degs BTDC No.1).

Tighten down the bearing caps, fit the back plate and the pullies, then turn them to match the timing markings, lock them in place, rotate crank to TDC on no.1 (by rotating clockwise through 30 degs only!) and fit cam belt as normal.

60 does give you more clearance.

Thanks for the advice - this is the biggest engine rebuild I have ever done - I have rebuilt 4 cylinders and bike engines singles & twins.

And it is hard work!

Back aching

Back aching 

A lot , holding up better than it did though - but a good reminder that I am still not fully recovered

[Martin_1962]

Taking some ibuprofen now

Followed that - 3 & 4 are OK, 1 & 2 are pointing out rather than in.

Is this to be expected?

As long as you're sure you got cams 1 and 2 the right way round (i.e. inlet and exhaust not swapped) I would say it's OK. That guide is just a general aid to getting them roughly right before putting the pullies on. The tension in the valve springs tends to make the cam sit where it wants.

Once you've got the pullies and backplate on, with the crank in a "safe" position, you can get them correctly aligned and lock them.
