Day four....
I got the motor free'd up, removed the rear brake lever and thought I was ready to pull it out. I cannot wriggle that thing out for the life of me....
Do I need to remove the swingarm and pull the rear motor mount out in order to remove the motor???
After taking the the timing chain cover off, I snapped a pic at TDC then rotated the crank 360 and took another. I got two different positions of the top cam sprocket, which I expected. Neither of the positions made much sense to me as no marks were lined up with the arrow on top of the valve cover. The one where the "0" is on top, it is slightly behind the mark (retarded???). Not sure what to think here...
