If it does, that would advance both cams slightly thereby bringing you closer to an on spec condition.

thanks for the feedback.

it is actually quite off, i would say roughly 10 degrees higher on the intake side, and about 3-4 degrees lower on the exhaust side.....

i feel that there is a half-a-tooth slack somewhere....

here is my TDC mark ( i have my doubts about this, since the pointer is different than the one pictured in the factory cd)



here are pictures before i took it apart. i have moved on since to drill bits for better accuracy....notice the difference in intake and exhaust cams



lower on the exhaust side ^^^^^



way higher on the intake side ^^^^^^



head is off in this picture. I think my TDC setting is accurate.....

J.M, my guide on driver's side was in place minus the pin.....it should not be a problem ...

i am confused
