Nice rebuild. No corners were cut. You may have heard already but it’s very common for the gear on the intake cam to spin on the camshaft of Kawi 4 strokes. Usually just the intake but might as well tack weld the exhaust gear if you’re taking out the intake cam to tack it. On the face of the gear on the edge where the camshaft meets it. Cover up your camshaft while welding so you don’t get bb’s stuck to the camshaft. You can look down the cam; the circle in the gear is supposed to line up with the top of the lobes. They will slip anywhere from 1-3 teeth.
