I was told to watch out for the camshaft jumping a tooth when tightening it back up after it has been removed by Graeme France.

that looks out to me, I found you had to hold the cam in the correct place very carefully with a screwdriver as you very slowly torque down the cam holders making sure the gears mesh properly.

I found the easiest way to get them aligned properly is put them so there one tooth above the head so then when you tighten them down it leaves room for movement and 9 times out of 10 end up bang on straight with the head
