I tried what you said, and it just moved the cam with the crank. Im not sure of what you are saying, the cam gear is on a pin and can only go in one way, it couldnt be in the wrong spot i dont think. Maybe its possible when the distributor seized that my timing might have jumped a tooth? Its not hitting the valves, but would it if it was only 1 tooth off? Im so confused, ive had it apart seriously about 35 times. Help!
