Timing problems!!!

[rocco_crossing at hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Thanks Mark!!! I think I got it. I was lining the cam to a little above the 
cam cover car the Bentley says to line the divet up to the top of the rear 
timing cover which does not exhist on my car. So I was making an assumtion. 
Definately made an ass this time. This would also explain why when it was 
running it ran just a touch rough, which was probly just the ignition being 
a little off. THANKS!!!!



Peace Out,
Rhett
