Ka24e Timing problems

[Kaiba]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i've scoured the internet looking for answers about single cams and timing issues, finding close to no helpful info. So here goes.

>Had timing chain rattle 24/7.
>Bought full replacement kit and installed all parts in the motor at (what I thought was TDC) Everything was lined up at the time, chain links and all.
>put back together all according to the how-to I was following.
>distributor lined up how it was supposed to
>Motor now runs like shit, starts and idles fairly okay around 800ish. but Has no power and overheats very quickly, not to mention running very rough once in gear.

So today I went and took the valve cover back off and got the cam gear lined up at actual tdc, used the screwdriver in the spark plug hole trick to make sure. And found that nothing lines up as it should. (to my knowledge)

Chain on cam gear is two links behind the mark:


And I'm a little unclear on the distributor/key/oil pump installation, but the backwards 'D' appears to be at the wrong angle? The round part of the 'D' shape is pointing towards the front middle of the car.


SO because my mechanical knowledge is limited. Am I gonna have to strip the whole front off this thing again? Are the problems my KA is having a result of the chain, distributor, or both?

Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me nuts instead of driving me to work, like it's supposed to.
