Default Re: Question on Cam Gear Marks - UPDATE

No Russ, I've put you crook...you need to move the cam to retard it one tooth. That'll put your mark on the camgear to the LEFT of where it was....I previously said to the right. Sorry about the confusion.

Currently your cam is ADVANCED 16 odd degrees [crankshaft]. Which is why the #6 ex valve appears to be shut @ TDC, whereas it should shut later in the cycle @ 19* ATDC. Also why your ignition is firing so early.
