Screw is out from the rear cylinder, now waiting for the head gasket to arrive.
Front cylinder valve clearance once again measured
Hopefully you are aware that the measurments will change with the head on the bike and cam chain tensioned up. Doing valve clearance with the head off is only a rough guide and not accurate.
I know. The front cylinder wasn't the one which I've taken off, this one is still on the bike (and hooked up to chain and all).
Rear cylinder showed however same measurements (with cams and camguides screwed on), so I know I need only one more shim. Before I buy that one though I'll put the head back on first and measure properly again
After setting the timing correct, buying some shims and having the proper clearance, removing the rear head to get that little screw out, putting it back together and breaking off a valve cover bolt, fishing the cable tie out of the oil sump, I was finally able to put her temporarily back together...
And she is running. Super sweet, no rattles or anything.
Now I just need to wait for some parts, service the brakes, balance the carbs and she is ready for the road again!

Well done, at least you got the job done in the end
