    invisible cities,

    You should be able to machine slot the existing cam bolt holes in the OEM sprockets to allow enough movement for phasing.

    I can add this to the project clipboard. I don't own a milling machine but I have a friend who does :)

    Exactly!

    +1 on the cam timing comments. Stock engines often are off from what they "should" but a significant amount. Degreeing in the cams can make a noticeable difference.

    - bump -

    Would anyone out there happen to have the stock cam lift specifications for the '84/'85 compared to the '86?

    The only reference I have seen about cam lift was in Cycle 07/84.
    Intake was given as 7.8mm, exhaust was given as 7.6mm. We can safely assume Cycle refers to '84/'85 models.
