Yep El'Fonzo,whip the rocker cover off and have a look at the cams,the first two lobes should face outwards at TDC (check the BGB,i'm pretty sure thats right)
Can you send me some pics of your set-up now matey?it's been a while!!:D:D:D and maybe i'll send you some pics of my built engine if you lucky.
