[replyingto=chihuahuas]chihuahuas[/replyingto]No pic....but did you remove the cam chain tensioner before installing the new cam?..If not it can be impossible to line the holes up..

Pics up now. Gear no line up with camshaft. Check different cams and notice they press em on all over the place. I suspected this is a flaw but now I see this as an aspect to tuning.
I have a crank with the cam gear pressed on 1/2 tooth off. I set the cam using the hole method and I could not get it right. I took out the cam and compaired it to another one and noticed this. I place the cam in usend the keyway mark and it lined up perfect. I check it with a screw driver on the piston top and with overlap and also checked it with the keyway. It lined up perfect and it runs great.

[replyingto=chihuahuas]chihuahuas[/replyingto]Ok..agreed...that does not look right..since it is a press on cam gear I would re press it. Some cams have the gear welded on and if off..yer screwed. The way your looks now it would probably give you 3-5 degrees valve opening too soon. I would NOT use that cam until it was pressed on properly.  |
