Ummm, actually you *have* left a part out, the timing chain sprocket. The
end float on this (didn't say, but guessing 1275 from picture) is done by
placing a thrust plate in between the front cam bearing journal and the rear
face of the sprocket. Indeed, most all chain driven cams have their endfloat
controlled in this manner.
So, put the chain and sprockets on, torque everything, then ckeck the
endfloat. It will most likely be within spec.
