final top end tasks

Cylinder heads finally on after a long time, the dodgy thread that I had trouble with was fine, cleaned through with a tap. It held under torqing up so I'm relieved.
setting the valve timing was quite straight forward, line the T1 mark on starter motor side, cam sprocket marks horizontal with cylinder head etc, Ive not touched these or tweaked anything here just the factory settings, I have previously used slotted sprockets on my cbr. May be look into this later. Valve clearances checked and all seemed within the limits from the workshop manual. Ill run the motor first before going back to it. I just want to get it back together and give it a shake down at a track day before the summer is up...with all this nice weather were having.
Next is the clutch plates, then thats about it.
