Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll file that done. Funny thing is, I ran it without a gasket and had no leaks.

The reason for setting it to 26 degrees is because everyone on here says they love it. Better power and fuel economy. Overall, a snappier motor. I'm fine with 24 to 26, but I've also heard that the new timing chain will stretch a bit in the first few miles, so I'm compensating for that at the same time, as well.

And don't worry, both cam lobes are facing up.
