[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 659337, member: 3828"] As I mentioned is another thread, the symptoms of the cam chain being timed wrong would depend entirely on which sprocket was off and in which direction. Being off in one direction by one tooth would advance the cam, in the other it would retard it. Is it just the intake camshaft (unlikely) or just the exhaust (quite likely) or did the crank sprocket skip one tooth (effectively advancing or retarding both intake and exhaust valves)? The symptoms would vary for each condition. Though the exhaust being +/- one tooth seems to be the easiest mistake to make. [/QUOTE]
