Paranoia

I once fitted mine the wrong way round. If you do it is impossible to get the timing chain on so sounds like you did it right

I spoke to an old guy a few years ago that rebuilds Triumph engines. He has a camera set up over his workbench for just this reason. Says he started to have memory lapses at 65 and likes to be able to look back over a build and make sure everything is okay. It's starting to look like a good idea for me these days.
Sesman:
Thanks, Paul. That provides some reassurance. I’ve mentally retraced my steps and I can’t imagine I would have fitted it contrary to the manual.
Like the camera idea….I could use that.

On my rebuild I make detailed daily notes using a spreadsheet with excuses when nothing has been done. I have a column for notes such as needs final torque etc in a red column.
Sesman:
I did that, Ted. I put it in a safe place and now I can’t find it.🤔😀
