Looks good from here, If the gaskets are not squashy type then OK, I know that racing engines are assembled without gaskets sometimes ,just goo. Not keen on that myself. If the cam nut is not tight then a little more clearance may come when it is.I do remember that the upper bevel tower joint was the tricky to get oil tight and getting a pinch on the steel bush at the same time to stop it moving. A tiny amount of play without tight spots is what I aim for. It can be frustrating as just a dismantle and reassemble can produce changes. Once right it should run forever ,so its worth the time. And its fun in a strange way.

Thanks BB,
Hopefully the 0.05mm shim will get it right. If not I am going with a bit of micro backlash :D
