Well... things may have gone wrong this evening. I don't want to admit it but its a very high possibility that I may have bent a couple valves.
When I removed the cams I aligned the marks so I could pop them back in the same way. At least that was the plan.
The bike hadn't moved in weeks except for side to side while it was on the jack.
I got my cams ready to go and noticed the "TOP" on drive gear was not on top so I spun the rear wheel to get it on top. Marks aligned, cams went in and I started checking valve clearances. Well... I got to a point where I couldn't spin it by the rear wheel anymore so I let the bike off the jack, put it in gear and rocked it a few times. Each time hearing the tap of what I now think was the piston on the valve. Back it up, put it in gear and push it again. I was thinking it was just being stubborn until that sinking feeling came over me and I had realized what I had done.
After a raging river if expletives flowed out of my mouth and I took a break, I went back down, spun it 180 degrees, reinstalled cams, got free movement all the way and measured.
Wouldn't you know it... the last set of valves I measured were waaaay out compared to the rest. Most were between .299 and .381. Two exhaust valves were 1.499 and .889.
Either that cam got ground hard on that one set of valves or I bent them and they are not closing completely.

So now... I guess I cross my fingers, get the proper shims and do a compression check.
