ok, i did the exhaust cam on the intake side. the first time i messed up and put it 4 notches clockwise, which i now know was wrong and is why it wouldnt start.. so i took it apart again and put he marks back to stock then moved it 4 notches counterclockwise like ur suposed to do. well the car started but wont idle for shit, soo i took it for a drive down the street. while moving and on the gas everything is fine, its got power, but at idle it cams like crazy and wont stay running, i think tommorrow i am gonna just start from scratch and this time remove the top timing chain cover and make sure everythin is correct then put it 4 notches counter clockwise and hopefully it will work, i dont know what or if i did anything wrong. anyone have any ideas?

bumping up next to 240silvia's thread..

my dohc car has this in it. it was done before i got it, so i cnat contribute too much to this situation.

all i can say is, mess with the timing a little more (ignition and cam)
