[tech/help]2.0l 8V swap
Greg,
I installed the KS with the motor. I referred to your web page (excellent
job may I add!) and noticed that I did exactly what you did wiring wise.
I'm resolved that my problem lies in timing. I'll have to recheck it
tomorrow. Like I said, I think that my problem lies with the cam sprocket.
Thanks for the help.
Sal
