Well I took the timing cover off today and found out that the timing chain is correct but the new timing pointer I put on is wrong on the balancer. With the timing chain marks striaght up correctly the pointer points at ten degrees after TDC. So when my friend set the timing at 12 degrees initial it was really at 2 degrees. Wow,no wonder it was a dog,lol. I guess that would make one of the cylinders pop a little. Being so far retarted. I took off the timing cover because I was going to check the timing marks and to reinstall the cam spacer that I didn't put in there the first time. It made the cam to far forward and tight on the dist. gear. and didn't want and future problems with gear damage. I did set the dist. at 26 degrees today and with the initial at 12 it should be good at 38 total. Thanks guys,I think I'll start putting it back together tomorrow. These motors are so easy to work on,lol
