Ok Ladies and Gentlemen...today's lesson is how to pay attention when installing the cam sprockets 

Here is the intake cam alignment at the T mark.

Here is the exhaust cam alignment at the T mark. Better I would say
So, your probably asking what was giving 'ol Masher so much grief aren't you
Well here it is 

This is a shot of the intake cam sprocket. The problem was with the exhaust cam sprocket, but I can show you the deal from this picture.
I had the exhaust cam sprocket installed backwards. You see the raised landing behind the sprocket bolt. That side was on the other side. I also noticed that one sprocket hole has that little round mark at the top. The bottom holes don't have one. So I suspect that raised marking is there to tell you to use those holes when making the alignment.
So the mystery is solved. Now that the cam sprockets are installed with the correct face outward, and the raised bolt hole marks on top when the alignment holes are in line with the mark on the caps, and the ignition timing is at the T mark...life is good again
Now I can get some sleep 
Thanks for all the comments
