It's not easy to see in the photos, but I believe they are in the correct order. 1 is at the flywheel end, 3 is at the sprocket end. Cap 2 could have gone back on the wrong way round (180 degrees out) though the cap numbers are all on the manifold side. I have seen a picture of this engine with cap 2 the other way round though, so I don't know how consistent that is.
Interesting point about freeing up when cold that I hadn't thought about. The engine failed after about 10-15 minutes into the drive from cold.
