Installed cam now have some issues

[sidewayzisbest]

Well i just installed a wolverine 1087 cam and pretty sure i have my tdc right(had the rotor pointing btw the tb and intake while it was on compression). I got it to keep a nice steady idle but after ~3mins or so it wants to cut off. I'm giong to change my oil and sparkplugs b/c im sure i got some junk in there but i dont belive thats the problem prob something really stupid.


ha also ....umm my whole car shakes now....could this be motor mounts or will my future shocks and springs fix this.

Check to make sure the balancer is all the way on and isn't wobbling all over the place, this could be the source of the vibrations.

Did you disconnect the battery and reset the computer, allow it to re-learn etc...

Make sure the firing order is correct.

its on enough to where i turn either way it moves the whole belt would that allow play to still be in there? also it got nicked on the long part that slides on the cam gear i guess you could say could that cause vibrations? thanks for the help

just cause you can turn the balancer and the belt moves, did you torque it down to about 70ft lbs?

for TDC you also have to point the rotor to where ever you have the #1 plug wire attached. if you had it running you are at lest in the vicinity. you can restab the dizzy one or two teeth in each direction and see it that helps.
