So as I am doing the tear down(I know I have been really slow) I am wondering how the timing chain got to be 180 degrees off. The information I have collected leads me to believe that this motor has 100k miles. The oil/crud on this motor during tear down looks like it hasn't been tore into at all recently. The only thing that looks new is the carb (possible recent rebuild).

Anybody know how a motor could become exactly 180 degrees off with out the removal of the timing/front cover?

Could have pulled the head or the cam with the crank 360 degrees out but went back in with the cam in the correct position for TDC. That's about the only explanation I could come up with...

I bought a truck and somebody put the timing chain on wrong with the cam gear off 180 degrees from the crank. What should I do?
