ok so im rebuilding my motor and were putting in the cams and trying to get them timed right...they are stock cams in the s14 ka24de. ok so we got both cams sprokets lined up exactly how the chart i have told me. but the lower sproket where the chain connects to is one tooth off on that dot, does that matter as long as the cam sprokets and chain are lined up? and are at tdc. here are some pictures of what it looks like.

It will be off, you need to set it right, it may run, but the timing will be off the one tooth. It wont run right. Take the time and get it reset, I would.

well thats the thing with the two cam sprokets aligned that bottom one cant align with it...so in order for the cam sprokets to be on that one has to be off.

you can clock the crank counter clockwise to match up to the lower mark. Move the crank and then pull the cam chain and reclock the cams.
