It does seem that way. The degree wheel showed cam timing retarded and this does too. So now, is it actually 24* or is it less? I think a solid fixture and redo the cam degree to verify.
Ok just for reasurace i checked the exhaust side it calls for 49 degrees bbdc im at 30 so around 19 degrees so its right on with the rest. I do believe o got a bad timing chain. I'm sure the 3 degrees is in my poor setup
