Set up my timing while doing my rebuild, as you probably know its a bit tricky to get it just right. i think its ok but it looks as if the cam sprocket is just a tiny fraction advanced to the crank sprocket. i can run a straight rule nearly perfectly between the two opposite alignment marks. no 1 cylinder is also at tdc so i know the crank is perfect. could this be anything to worry about or just a wee bit of chain wear?

Should be ok but turn the engine over by hand first if not sure
If I remember right the sprocket can go on both ways round
Which can move the timing a few degrees
If in doubt get a dti gauge and measure
