Found the problem. Timing chain was installed straight up matching both 0s as per directions. Installed properly i had to match the 0 on the top gear to the rectangle on the crank gear. Must be a factory defect.
So you did exactly what I said. Initially lined up the wrong marker on the crank gear with the 0 on the cam gear. It isn't a factory defect.
Where is the crank keyway pointing now?
IIRC, Usually the triangle is 4 advance and rectangle is 4* retarded. Why the rectangle if retarded? No chance I install that cam retarded.
For the rest of the people here. Just because a cam was installed dot to dot and it ran, doesn't mean it was phased properly. See PRH's comment, that ran at 14* retarded.
