I found the problem

Post by JMcTurnan »

So you know how I was talking about my dizzy gears getting stripped? So i looked in the hole, and Im like oh shizniz, the cam gear that the dizzy goes down into was sitting like half an inch back from where it was suppose too. So we pulled the timing cover off, and found that the bolt wasnt even tight on the gear. So I think we just overlooked it the first time, and we shouldn't of. So we tightened it, and sure enough it pulled the gear foward.

It coulda probably went in another 1/4 to half an inch. I still got some hesitation. But I think Im a tooth out on the dizzy.
