Wow, did I ever learn this one the hard way....Put my cams in wrong, engine would turn, but then "stop". My buddy hit the starter and bent all 4 exhaust valves (some of you may remember that)..On my wife's bike, a 2005 America, I removed the cam cover, and simply "loosened" the cam bosses, not taking the bolts all the way out, that way, I could pick the cam up just enough to get my magnet in to remove the shim that needed replacing, the cams never even had to come out. Install new shims after calculations, re-tork, and wah-lah...DONE. Did'nt even replace the gasket for the cam cover....Personally, I would'nt even bother with the thing if it was running good and not rattling more than usual...Just my 2 cents...
