How much  endplay is there on the cam & crank ?  Are you checking  alignment
with them both pushed all the way back ? Is the front cam bearing  new ? Are
you sure the crank chainwheel is seated firmly against it's  shoulder ?



Crank end float .006" which is at the upper limit of acceptable but  still 
acceptable.  Checked with a dial indicator
Cam endfloat is .005"  should be .003 - .0075"  Checked with a  dial 
indicator 
Front cam bearing is used but not used by me as my old one was  scored.  It 
is in very good shape.
I will seat everybody firmly and check again but I pushed them both back as  
much as I could.
 
Thanks, as always
