actually if the dots are aligned number 6 is on compression and 1 is on overlap. Both dots up number 6 on overlap and number 1 on compression. You had to take opti off to do the cam swap. It would lead me to believe you possibly have 2 wires crossed. I dont have a cap in front of me but i would definitely check that.

Ok just to make sure again the cam sprocket would be at 6 oclock positon and the crank would be at 12 oclock. right or both at 12 oclock wich was what u made it seem like.

If you do have to tear it down, make sure that the Dots line up at some point when the Crank Dot is at the 12:00 position when you turn it over to see.

Both can be at 12:00, or the Timing Sprocket Dot can be at 6:00, but the Crank one ALWAYS has to be in the full 12:00 position when trying to check the Dots.
