Desperation... any more ideas (16V problems)?

[irisheet@yahoo.com (breandan mcilwain)]

ryan,

have you ever changed the cam chain, the one that
connects the 2 cams together?  if that is worn and
stretched you will never get your timing correct,
because your cams are constantly fluctuating there
timing.  which could cause your problems.
