    Timing is 180 degrees off.

    I guess you didn't count the number of teeth you moved the crankshaft and then move the cams the same number??

    Dmitrikr - no hydraulic valve lifters in our engines. There are DOHC (direct overhead cam).

    PK, I followed the procedure for "When timing is lost", that procedure does not mention anything about counting teeth. I just lined up everything according to the video, but somehow I didn't get it right. I thought there was only one position for the right Cam to spring back to 12 O'clock, and only one position for the left Cam to spring back to 9 O'clock after you first line up the timing mark itched on the crankshaft sprocket...Is that false?

    Lfen, you said you had the same situation, how did you exactly correct the issue...If I turn the Crankshaft 180 degrees, the itched timing mark on the Crankshaft sprocket will end up at 9 O'clock!! and the notch will end up lined up with the timing mark at 3 O'clock!!

    Thankfully, I took tomorrow off so I wanted to make sure this nightmare was over!

    Thank you all for your help
