yeah, I thought that too. They do line up. So there is a chance of the cam sprocket lining up and still be out of time, interesting.
Well, to tell u the truth, I noticed a tapping sound after I changed my oil seals. It was on the same side as the problem. It would come and go. And sometimes it gets loud. Performance was good till only recently. Has been 6 months since I last heard that tapping, haven't heard it yet since. Could there be a reason in the installation of the oil seals? Like would there be a no-no step as of rotating the crank too much without taking out the spark plugs, or something like that? Or is it all leading to the cam sprocket out of wack thing? Thanks for the feed back.
