cam gear timing
 

i am having trouble with my ------- cam gears. something isnt right.....when i line up the arrows on the camgears, and then do 1 revolution by hand, the camgears are WAY off...like ------- 4-5teeth. what am i doing wrong??????

Re: cam gear timing
 

when you have the camgears timed do you have the crank pulley on tdc mark the ones on the bottom should look like this lll l there on the crank pulley

you are turning it counter-clockwise right?...with the tensioner set-up right?

got it, you have to have someone hold the camgears from ------- turning when your puttin on the belt, the exhaust one kept on movin on me and throwin me way off, but i am good now i think....my car started but it is really sick....i try flooring it and it takes 5 seconds or something to get it past 3500rpms, its horrible. i messed around with the dizzy, still nothing. i think i have a vaccuum leak somewhere but i am not sure....any other ideas? i am going to be doin a compression test soon. hopefully this weekend. its ------- killing me :S
