TDC is really hard to screw up for a number of reasons..the damper only goes on one way for one...

Did you mark your chain/gears etc before you removed them? I like to put everything back on the exact tooth it came off of...that way Everything lines up exactly as it came off the engine.

Is your cam actuator still @ full retard? Either way, it Sounds like you are doing everything right.

I did mark the chain, but the marks are irrelevant because the timing was not right to start with. there was no damage or anything, but originally the alignment of the cams was all wrong (the same issue but even worse!!!). the car had a head-gasket done from what i could tell sometime in the past, and i think they did not know how to align it properly....

anyway i could fix this issue?
