Right now I'm having some trouble with valve clearances. Luckily I might know how to fix it. I kept thinking the cam was jumping the timing (which it might still be by a link or two) because every time the engine seized the piston was up and the valves were down. That was before I remembered that there are two crank rotations for every single cam rotation.
 But the problem remains that the valves are now hitting and they weren't before I took the thing apart. I'm going to raise them up so they dont get bent and work them back down as I need. I can't afford a new set of valves ($100, half the value of the bike).

Yeah when I tried doing what you are, it was on a 1972 honda cb175, and I couldnt get the valves to do what they were supposed to do until I had a friend of my dad's look at it, he worked at a honda shop, and the bike was a little old for what they usually worked on, but they got it running... ran lean and melted a piston while going down the freeway, but it ran for a few weeks! haha!

Ok, got the valves adjusted beautifully. Now I just have to get it to crank for me. Then I can go back to smoking out the neighbors.
