keep thoses wheels turning
if you rotate crankshaft clockwise until cam lobe depresses inlet valve fully, fit shim tool, then rotate cranshaft anticlockwise till bucket is held down by the tool and eventually cam lobe pointing upwards......the lobe doesn't go anywhere near the tool..............I've just done all mine this aft!
Thats what i meant but you expressed it much better Neal

the only way the piston can hit the valve whether turning the crankshaft clockwise or anti clockwise is if the valve timing is out of sinc have you removed the advancer + made sure the locating peg has not sheared on the crank .also put a screwdriver into no 4 cylinder + turn the crank until the screwdriver is at the top + see if the advancer tdc mark is aligned with the mark on the cover
YES: The cam should be holding the valve open - then insert tool - then rotate cam so the lobe moves into centre of engine - towards spark plug/away from tool. Only turn motor over enuff to slide shim out.
My Mk.II has lumpy cams and you have to remove the cams to change the shims - and YES, they are over bucket-shims, NOT under-bucket

what type of valve shim tool are you using there are two different types + the 750 twin is very similar tool but is slightly longer if it is a genuine tool what is the part no
