If I remember correctly it had to be heavily advanced. I couldn't tell you where it ended up as there were no timing marks lol. I am thinking the timing was still off, so before everything gets put back together I am going to put the heads on, set it to the compression stroke, then set the timing with a light once it's back together.Yeah but how much did you turn it? Which direction did you turn it?
Advance or retard?
Where did it end up?
Where you started is not as important as where it actually ended up.
That’s what I figured. I installed the new one the correct way. I wonder if that could have caused issues?Looks like you need to remove cam gear and move it 180 to line up the dots.
Yes, just didn't know at first. Never had an engine torn this far down before. Should I remove the new timing chain and put it back the way the old one was?The crank rotates twice for every rotation of the cam. You just need to rotate the crank another full turn.
That wasn’t your issue. Remember, you verified it by checking for TDC on cyl 1 of the compression stroke. Right?
This is how we all have learned....Yes, just didn't know at first. Never had an engine torn this far down before. Should I remove the new timing chain and put it back the way the old one was?
This is the correct answer, no need to remove any gears unless the dots do not line up..The crank rotates twice for every rotation of the cam. You just need to rotate the crank another full turn.
No, not if you aligned it dot to dot.Yes, just didn't know at first. Never had an engine torn this far down before. Should I remove the new timing chain and put it back the way the old one was?
Okay cool, just wanted to make sure. I’d hate to have to tear it all apart again. I did read the directions and saw where you mentioned that it has multiple options. It is lined up for OE use, dot to dot. I’m getting back on it tonight. Have to get my heads reassembled, change the oil pan gasket, then start putting it all together.No, not if you aligned it dot to dot.
TDC is TDC, the camshaft is going to determine if that’s TDC on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke.
So if you put it back together dot to dot, it is correct now.
Also, forgive me for any ignorance. I know my way around an engine in terms of R&R, but not real knowledge. I’m trying my best to learn lol, and yall have been a great help.No, not if you aligned it dot to dot.

Your doing great. Remember some of us are all learning along with you.Also, forgive me for any ignorance. I know my way around an engine in terms of R&R, but not real knowledge. I’m trying my best to learn lol, and yall have been a great help.
That’s what I figured. I got the trickflow VSS that are for “dual springs”. The inner spring is just super super tight around it, but it does fit.Does the new valve stem seals look the same as the old ones. There are different styles for different situations.
The inner spring is really a dampner, I would reuse it unless you’re going back with a stock camshaft.
