With the crank in proper position for installing the cams the left exhaust valve is opening so just draw it down with the cap bolts slowly and evenly to compress the valve spring.  Only had to install cams once myself and it was no problem.  Other three valves are closed in checking position with clearance.

I also installed according to the manual, like Jack. If you do it like Jessie did in the video, you might have trouble turning the exhaust cam when it is time to set timing.

So it's finally all fixed and back together, and running smoother and quieter than before. Thanks again for all your advice and recommendations, they were much appreciated. =)
