     Hey all,

    So today I started on my Cam install and have been following this video, and some other guides, but there is no mention of Oil Pump Alignmnet.

    Nothing sinister here mate just screw the alignment tool pins in and nip them up as you rotate the engine over ( back wheel and in top gear) then put in the normal bolts and torque up the remove the pins and put the final to bolts in

    Hmm! Ok. So why didn't he?  I would have thought he should have done it - or have I missed something?

    Some guys use the alignment pins, some just rotate the engine while nipping up 2 of the bolts first to 45in/lbs, then the other 2, then  torque all bolts to spec, which is the way the manual says, & some use the pins & rotate the engine as Ando mentioned.
