Need some help setting up the timing set I'm helping my friend GTODave do his h/c swap in his GTO and i wanted to ask you guys about what you think of this:
I just got the timing set put in place and am about to torque the cam bolts to spec, but i spun the engine over 360* to make sure timing looked good.
It appears to me that its 1 tooth off but wanted to ask you guys before i start putting everything together again
Here's a picture I snapped really quick to put up on here:
Thanks,
Andrew

that looks right on to me. remember there is slop in the timing chain. if it was a tooth off, you wouldnt have to post pictures up here it would stand out that bad.

Ok cool, thanks guys.
I'm going to have to take the timing set off again anyways, kinda realized i only snugged down the plate that holds the cam in place. so i need to take the set back off, i'm going to use a paint marker and mark the timing gear and chain to make it going back together easy again
Thanks guys,
Andrew
