I am trying to set the CAS. My engine would run before but the timing was way off, and it could not be set right. I looked and the CAS was a notch or two off. On a side note, I am replacing my valve cover gasket because there was oil in the spark plug well. I took off cover and I couldnt believe it, THERE Where NO spark plug well gaskets !

Is it possible this motor has had some internal work?

The links on the chain are not even close enough to both set on the punch marks, they are two far apart ( 2 out of the three). I can get either the right one or the left one. Ive turned it so many times I have seen the pattern so I know Ive tried every possible combination...... I am trying to set the CAS. My engine would run before but the timing was way off, and it could not be set right. I looked and the CAS was a notch or two off.

I was told during shipment they might have broke CAS and just slap another one in there with out lining it up. Makes me wonder, cause this s14 sr pulls like a mofo under 4500RPMS, and I thought stock boost doesnt spool until higher RPMS
