I really need some help with my new pitster pro lxr. It has a aftermarket 155ho crate engine and a new v2 race head. When I took off the stock head I didn't set my cam sprocket or flywheel to tdc. I have spent hours searching on line for any information I can find. I set my flywheel to tdc and I'm having problems with the cam chain sprocket. The marking on the sprocket says FL and has 2 notches on across the sprocket. When I installed the cam I put the first lobe towards the cylinder side and tried timing it. I don't know where to set the cam to the right timing and the sprocket has no other markings to line up to Tdc. I have attached a couple pictures of the sprocket and cam. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me with this problem.

Ok put the cam in with the bolt holes like this. Vertical. Then put the crank at TDC. Then put the cam sprocket horizontal. The small lines should line up horizontal. Like a imaginary line with the connecting rod. Now with the crank and cam gear lined up. Turn it over till the cam bolt lines up. That's it. You cannot put the cam or sprocket on wrong. If you had it 180 degree out if you turn the motor over 1 time now it's not 180 out

When you're done the cam bolts should line up like the cam in the picture

Thanks for all your help. I followed your instructions and put it back together. Started right up on first kick. Can't wait to ride with the new v2 head. Thanks again for the information.

keep us informed of how she run's and pic's..I am curious of how it compares? I am on the fence on getting 2nd back up LXR yet just dropping the v2 head as well.. You did ugrade the carb also didn't you to get the most out of that engine and v2?
