Good morning all, I'm hoping somebody has time to answer a numpty question about the cams on my Z1B. I took the cams out to replace the head gasket, but now I'm ready to put the cams back in I can't work out which way up the exhaust cam goes. The inlet cam has the 28th pin mark at the top, but I can...
