Take it to a shop!! Let them degree the cams, and also set the timing so ecu is in line with dizzy.. Worth the cost!!

Hmm, easiest way to explain is my example.. Using a jumper wire we put ecu in Limp mode/ diaignostic mode, then do you move dizzy to timing of 14-16 degree's.. Once set you remove the jumper.. The ecu will now see the postion on the dizzy, meaning timing is set!! "In line" was a short term lingo i used, not really proper term..sry!!

Ok? I can try but like I have it tdc in the cam gears are 0 out in straight up when u
I started it up had no power did not wanna rev I move the dizzy to advance it it would rev but not right
I had a guy tell me to take belt off make sure tdc advance the cam gears 4 degrees on both exhaust in intake?

in your case with h22 you'll be looking in the tranny hole.. Should have a white TDC mark plus others, correct?


Edit:
Digital timing light makes life easy, since your reference point is TDC(white mark).. Explain what you see and type of light?

OK, i missed a post above.. Go back to cam gears, be sure both marks line up side by side, look in tranny hole to be sure it's a TDC.. Sounds like you are off a tooth or 2...LOL

List cams you have also.. cant guess on moving cam gears, since each motor is different the proper way is to degree the cams in with a degree wheel..

I really not sure what the cams are I know the guy told me stage 2 turbo something not for sure
Has crower valve springs newer lca I have a red mark on flywheels in a plus mark? I went off the plus mark

dude, you need to take this setup to a professional shop. I don't know if you are going to get it right. Let a shop set it up- it will be cheaper than replacing your engine because you messed something up.

Should have white mark, that is top dead center.. Red is timing mark when setting(using light).. Being the cams are unknown, and if the head has been shaved, i would let a shop degree the cams in.. Need to find a part number on the cams so you can search for a cam card(specs) online..

Your shooting in the dark right now, and really need someone with better knowledge to help you more!!
