Yes, its a common error to misplace the camshaft-chain when assembling the engine. The engine then starts up properly and seems to run fine, but at about 4krpm it does not rev up further. The problem is, that the camshaft chain becomes longer during the years, and so the mark on the camshaft chain wheel does not exatly align with the mark on the cylinder head, it wanders off into the direction where the chain tensioner lives. If you fit the chain so that the mark differs into the other direction, the engine does not run properly.
