Hello fellow 400XS riders!

I have just finished my rebuild on my jugs and I have a question on alignment of the camshaft. In the manual it says straight up with the Camshaft centrifugal and Projection on the retaining bolt ( both marks lined up) with the LT mark on the alternator cover in the index pointer. That's great, but is it Straight up towards the sky or on the alignment of the engine as it sits on the frame? Can't really tell as the photo is not head on to the markers! I read it as straight up but when putting it together it made sense at the time to align it with the engine. Anybody know?


Much appreciated!

Jason
 
Thanks man! took it apart 3 times and the first time it went together was correct. Old Manuel, just not clear enough!
