These questions assume you have a 35 camshaft with a press on type timing gear.....

When you had the timing gear cover off, did you make sure the timing gear is pressed on the camshaft hub correctly and the line mark on cam hub aligned with line mark on the steel insert of timing gear?
Also, did the dot/line mark on the cam timing gear (near the outer gear teeth) align with the mark on the crank shaft gear?
