Swapping cam gear. Quick question
So... I goofed up and bought the VVT Delete Kit from TSP for my LY6 swap into my 99 T/A and didn't realize that it came with a 4x cam timing gear. I am going to buy a 1x timing gear and swap it over, but I wanted to be sure the timing marks are the same. I'm thinking I can just line the 1x timing mark up with where the 4x was when I pull it out and not have any issues. Is this the case or are the timing marks in different locations? Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I can't find any info and I want to be sure before I do it.
Thanks in advance

If you have a 3-bolt cam, it should bolt up and the mark should be right. It indexes to the pin in the front of the cam. It's worth checking though that when #1 cyl(for example) is at TDC, both valves are closed(or cam lobes on base circle). Always best to check and re-check. I have done this more than a few times now but I still get distracted by life and do silly things more than I like to admit.
BTW, O-Reilley Auto Parts sells a nice Cloyes LS2 timing set(cam gear, crank sprocket, chain) for around $30-$35 which can't be beat. It's 1x, 3-bolt and they usually have it in stock. C3220 I think?
