good work. Always torque down those screws to spec and I double check all of them on the last step before I button everything up, it is easy to forget when you are going through the adjustment and thinking about other things.

Lastly, there are definite alignment patterns to follow on the cam gears as you rotate through all of the cylinders to make sure you have the cams in the proper position. I posted the patterns in a reply in one of the diy threads. Also the proper rotations is 1,3,4,2. In the diy threads they often mix it up, though you would probably realize that if you are looking for the proper cam alignments.

For me it's easier just to remember, as long as the lobes are pointing away from each other (roughly 11 and 1) for the given cylinder the valves you are adjusting are on. All your looking to do is relieve the pressure of the cam on the valve, and I think alot of people get confused with rotating the crank this #degrees,Tdc, etc.
