First, you kids need to settle down. Don't make Dad come in here.

 

Now, in regards to the timing belt set up. Most manuals will show setting up one side straight up. Then the words tell you to rotate the crank one revolution. Then set the other side striaght up. The probelm herein lies. The pics usually show both sides up. People do not read when pictures are present. The first one I did was backwards. Bought many that were pronounced dead for the same reason. Read the manual, be it FSM, HTKYSA, Chiltons, Haynes, and look at the pictures. You do have to do both. Not just one or the other.

when i finally picked up the motor yesterday, the first thing my friend and i did was check the timing. come to find out the timing on the left (drivers side) of the motor was a whole 180 degrees off.

 

Just to clarify.

 

The dots on the CAM sprockets are SUPPOSED to be 180 from each other. When one is up, the other is down.

 

So unless both dots were up at the same time, the belts were correct.
