Will A KA24DE run with one cam off a tooth?
I put my motor together in August, and I couldnt originally get it to start so I looked at my old motor to see if the cams were correct. I think I got them on correctly, but the car hasnt run right since. The compression comes out to 110 across the board, and I poured oil down each cylinder to see if its the rings. It helped to bring them up to about 130ish, but I poured maybe 3 cap fulls in. The car wont idle cold, and barely when warm. I cant really check the timing since the motor wont keep a steady idle. but I do know that I have to run the dizzy a little retarded compared to where I did with the old motor. Theres not any noticeable tapping, but the car runs horribly low end, and only slightly better up top. It starts smoking at around 6k, so Ive been leaning towards bad rings... Just wanted to see if the cam could be off and run like mine does now. I do know that this motor checked out to 185 across the board, in my old car... but sat around for nearly a year in my freinds basement.
Steven Cliff Notes- Car barely runs horribly, could one cam be off a tooth and explain my problems.
