Hello Andrew do you have a can plate and the oil relief valve please send

... is it a common practise to read the handbook supplied with a new car . . .?

But you cannot deny them. There are (at least) two distinct types. (cam block bolts, that is)

OK, i get that. so now my qustion is- at this situation, the rollers are free and the rods from the plate to the steering are not installed yet should the plate moove in full??

Just a thought, I recently installed my cam plate and found it was fouling against the bolts which fix the plate to the bottom hull. I installed the bolts so the nuts were onto inside, thinking it would stop them corroding, but the bolts were slightly too long and fouled on the cam. I put them the other way around and all was clear to move.

If the forks aren't attached the only thing limiting its movement is the rollers. If that's not it then there's something touching it that shouldn't be. A good visual inspection should find out what.
