ATT. The Man (Cams Install Question)

Hey there. After doing some searches I came across a massive post about your installation of the Intake&Exhaust Cams. I have a couple important questions for you....That will benifit me and others on the forum.

1. do I need to align the cam gear with the flywheel?
2. is there other timing marks to set before removing the cams?

Thanks

set your crank to TDC, the cam timing marks should also align. once you do that, then you can start removing the belt and pulley... don't worry about the crank going off a few degrees, you will be retiming it later anyway

I made some additional marks on the cams gears to help with alignment issues later and as a reference. More than likely they will not match up after the install but as long as the reference points correspond you should be fine.

there's no need to do that... the timing marks are already on the stock cam gears... they line up even with the jspec cams
