Did mine today, had to advance 1 at R and about 3 at L (expected because of the thicker gasket I am using).

First time doing this, took a lot of time to get used to it (I have never ever don this in any engine) but the paschal stuff is quite easy because you can loose, move, tight and re-check in a moment. The TFS kit worked great, already had some parts done by my partner for 2V that I used (the valve cover threaded post, for example) and also got a piston stop made out of a long bolt that had the same thread as the 12mm plugs I use now.

So even with stock gaskets your cams would have been 2 deg off from each other at the cam ?
