Take another picture with the camera 90 degrees to the head and a little above so we can see the cam lobes. A bit better lighting on the cam gears would help us help you as well.
Your "problem" doesn't make sense to me.

 

Well something here certainly is... HEYOOOOOO!

I keed I keed

 

I'm telling you it's all about Quantum Mechanics.. By removing the cam cover and making an observation, you changed the "reality" of the items observed. Best to replace the cover, enjoy your 351 sweetness, and dream of things topsy turvy.

 

Damn it, my cover is gone. But I've just flipped a coin and he should be good to go now.

This is something I know (actually I know QM better than motorcycles) that under Quantum Mechanics laws, action at a distance possible, without any intervening medium.

Of course, the OP has a better chance of returning the cams to the correct orientation if he rotates the crank shaft a full turn, as others have pointed out..

 

I was looking at the images from the Marecelino cam mod and the fact is with minor differences due to the altering cam timing, the image posted here is virtually identical to the one in his but rotated past TDC. It is hard to see the slot in the exhaust, but it is rotated an equal amount. In the photo, it appears the OP isn't going to TDC by the crank, but rather has the cam slot at 12 o'clock position.

Here's the one from Marcelinos post:



Here is the one from above

Besides with a bit of mechanical thought process one can realize it is impossible to have a motorcycle run with the intake cam running 180 degrees out of position, it would be opening 90 degrees earlier (2:1 reduction from crank) pretty much coinciding with the exhaust cam during the exhaust stroke and not open during the intake stroke.

 

maybe he did the cam mod and forgot about it ? or someone snuck into his garage and did the mod for him without his knowledge ?

spooky

 

That's what I thought at first...but his exhaust/intake cam is bolted into the factory position.
He's gotta have the engine at BDC or at least not at TDC.
No way it'd run that far out.

 

maybe its really..... A WR250R !!!!


GASP !!!

 

Good Morning,
I have already replaced the Cams and corrected the timing or I would take a picture of the lobes.

I rode to work today, -18 degree F, the bike functioned as designed. I'll just call this issues dead.

I do appreciate the responses from every one. I have come to the conclusion, after much deliberation, that my bike was running on MAGIC. Its the only logical explanation.

 

LOL all's well that ends well.
