    Here is what the service manual shows. Makes perfect sense about torqueing it to specified torque then going so many degree afterwards. But see circled in red 215 to 225degrees & 180-190degrees ? not sure what this means. Can't be to go 180 degrees further after hitting the torque setting?

    ....so with the cylinder head on the bench, install the cams. Im a little confused on the valve adjustment. There are spacers that need to be changed to adjust that... correct?

    I did actually and saw some debris in there hense why i wanted to look further. But can't tell where that debris came from. It is possible it fell in there when we were doing a compression test or after i took the intake off. But I don't see anything obvious. The bike has been sitting since...
