The directions were probably good, but my memory

. I should have been looking at a print out, to see if there was a picture (I'm more of a visual person) and not a description, while doing it.
I'm replacing the lifters this weekend and having read many DIY's, I have a good idea of how everything disassembles and reassembles, but the timing of the cam and chains will need close attention. This is where having a buddy to help comes in.
