 Morning, all! Fresh JH owner form Norway here, bought 18711 three weeks ago. It is in fine shape, rust wise, not too bad in the paint department, but needs a paint job in the not too distant future and is in dire need of some electrical work.

The engine didn't want to pick up properly, I thought it was just ignition that was way off, but a closer inspection may have revealed the real problem. The included picture is taken with #1 at TDC, the pink dots on the rims of the cam drives are at the 110 marks (pointed to by arrows). I can't feel any interference while turning the engine by hand, but am I in need of a rebuild, or should I be OK just retarding the cams back to the proper position?

I haven't got around to checking clearances yet, they would tell me if I have bent valves, right?
