  1. pic 3 shows 1st mark slightly out of position, its only slight and may not be an issue, also it may be down to a worn chain? I've always been taught to keep it simple when diagnosing problems. The cam chain sounds definitely rattly to me, so I would deal with that first. Measure the cam chain for wear tolerance limits, check the tensioner is actually tensioning properly. Once you have either sorted or found its working fine and the chain is fine, then you can go back to your timing. Also check the cams etc, have you tightened everything correctly and in the correct order, it might be something simple like that?

     

    If the problem is still there after all that, try moving one tooth? it will either look better and in the exact position as described or will look totally out? I've not messed with timing before, last time I did a valve clearence check was on my old Bandit and that was the screw type, so no removing cams etc. was necessary. I am only giving advice based on what I've learned on other engine jobs. Hopefully someone with greater experience will come along and be more helpful ;)
