If someone knows about this engine or has one and sees something wrong in the adjustments please chime in. Thanks

In double checking pictures and write ups in my 1986 service manual, the amount of threads showing forward of the metal cam nylon link is about right. The idle degree setting mentioned is 2 to 4 degrees (lower cam scribe mark aligned with center of roller).
