valve adjustment nightmare

Awesome, thanks Adidas. Ok, good to know on the tach gear. Looks like it's spinning in there so I'm calling it fine. And yes, the washers on the left of the cam are on there and spin freely, so I think I'm also good there. Front cam chain guide is in there as well. Like I said, everything lines up properly and spins freely so I think I might be being a bit paranoid.

One other question - does the little cap in the back of the cam chain tensioner (the one that covers the hole with the screw inside) need to be on there absolutely. As in, does it keep it oil from coming out or anything? I don't think oil goes in there but just wanted to check since I tore the thing in two getting it out of there.

The cap keeps it clean in there so it doesn't get gunk in there that would make it get stuck.
Some bikes don't have it and no leaks from there.
