Max Power said:Maybe you need to find true TDC and see if your harmonic is lined up to 0 degrees.
I did do that, i stuck my finger over the #1 plug hole and cranked the engine till if puffed off my finger, then i stuck a small wooden dowel into the hole and turned the engine over by hand till it just barely started to go back down, then i turned it backwards to tdc and the balancer was pretty dang close. Is this not an exceptable way of finding tdc for #1? ( i know its kinda hokey, but i dont see why it wouldnt work) I also dont understand how i could of installed the cam/timing set wrong. I lined up the two marks on the gears and both gears only had one keyway, so it could only go on one way. I think the reason my engine is so gutless is the piston choice/cam combination.
Also, (shhhh) I have MS Office on a disk that I might be able to share for a..ahem...trial period, if you really need to get Excel....ahem
If you could do that for me, that would be great
Much thanks
