Anyone know what the TDC for the placement of the cams themselfs is? I know the intake side the frist nose should be up is that the same for the exhaust?
Thanks

Yea I have been looking at it but I can't seem to find where it says it should be.
Edit: well where the exhaust side should be.

Thanks I figured it out just a few hours ago and just got back from my test drive. It wasn't a problem with the cams it was a problem with the crank postion. It still isn't perfect but its alot better then what it was. Its still alittle ruff but hardly or even no backfiring at all now. Will take another look at it tomorrow but have to get some sleep before I go into work tonight.
Thanks

I come from a land down under
cass: Keep in mind the CPS will move as you insert it due to the helical gear.

You may need to push it in slightly until it just engages then pull it back a touch turn the shaft back 1 tooth then push it in.

It is decent its still not timed right but its much better then it was. My problem was I thought the crank had to be at 0 instead of the 12 it should be at.
