Picasso, the cam chain adjusting bolt is on the back of the motor, as I recall it's just above the TDC observation port.

Don't you have a manual yet? Sheesh..

Wow you're having all the luck. Almost seems like someone needs to do a good write up to salvage this mess.
I'll see about some pictures I have from Larry since he's got a smart way to do the valves too.
