I apologize if this is readily available information here, but I first did a search on the FE350, another on the posts pertaining to top end reassembly, and thoroughly searched the available downloads here (after downloading all the workshop manuals listed).
Right after I got the FE350, the master link on the cam chain failed, causing a couple of bent valves. We have replaced the damaged parts (bent exhaust valves, worn valve guides (Thanks Motoxotica!), cam chain guide and sprockets, and piston rings. Now, we need to install the cam chain. I want to make damn sure that this is done correctly, and my mechanic is unfamiliar with Husaberg top ends.
I need to know if the design of the '94 engine will be the same, and use the same procedure as shown in the '99 workshop manuals.

I showed that post to my mechanic, and he said that on my '94 FE350, the cam lobes were pointed up. Reading the above linked post, I thought he might have the engine on the wrong stroke, but won't get a chance to check this until later today. So... I thought I would ask you all. I need a more detailed instruction from a starting point, to make sure
we get this done right.
My main question is as to whether the '99 service manual works for the '94 FE350. (I don't see the 350 listed at the front of the manual, and being slightly anal retentive about such things, just had to ask. :? )
Thank you all in advance.
