ok. i used to be n/a with BC cams and now ive got a turbo kit on the car and before i go to the dyno on friday, i wanted my stock camshafts back in the car. my problem is that ive got the BC cams out and the old ap1 cams back in the car. but now i need to make sure they are in time. can someone send me a link or tell me how to look at the engine still sitting in the car with the chain cover and all on and time these cams? thats all i got left. i tried doing some searching around but every time my searches are cluttered with non related crap about timing a b18 and junk.

 

ive been having to do some different search topics but i think im finding what i need. so am i right that there are timing notches on the cam gears that simply allight with the head?

 

well now the car is at tdc, i just gotta figure out which marks i actually use to align this up

 

at TDC, there are lines on the face of the cam gears. they need to be pointed at each other side by side. like this " - - " .

 

finally figured out my issue. my large injectors had soaked the spark plugs so every time i cranked the car, it was barely running and made me think i had the timing off. so turns out i had the timing right after all. i was second guessing whether i knew what i was doing.
