Hi there, I got given an 88 Honda Spada VT250 from a friend, unfortunate thing was he had pulled both heads off. I have reassembled the motor but am now stuck on the timing of the cams...? Am a mechanic by trade but this has got me gob smacked.I've timed it up using the T1 and T2 marks but keep getting an exhaust valve hitting on the front cylinder. Have looked on the net but cant find anything that has worked so far. Just wondering if anybody out there can help me at all?

Cheers, I have set it up using the manual for a VT250C, it winds over now with out hitting any valves, just cant get the damn thing to run now lol hoping its the same setup as the Spada in regards to the timing...?
