Default exhaust cam not spinning.

okay guys I built a gsr. With supertech valvetrain aftermarket cams and cam gears. when i set timing at 0 its all good. when I try to turn the crank (motor is still on a stand) the intake cam moves and the exhast moves some but after a bit the exhaust cam stops and when I apply moe force to the crank the intake spins and the belt jumps teeth on the exhaust cam because it didn't move. I'm so confused. It's a gsr head. What can it be?

You're spinning it the wrong way. What cams are you using?

buddclub spec iv.
it seems like I would be spinning it the wrong way because it creates slack going counter clockwise

Set your timing again and re-tension your belt turning it counter clockwise.

no. I just set everything at 0 and drive it slow to tune it. My tuner said itll be good at 0 0 for now until the tune. I don't know how to degree cams and all that. What is your intake and exhaust set at?

your valves may have a hit on them with that approach...

If you still have the engine on a stand get your helms manual out or google how to lock vtec using air pressure. Once you get vtec locked in using the air with the valve cover off, so you can see that the rockers are locked, rotate the crank over slowly and gently. Once it spins 360 degrees then you know you have plenty of clearance. Its good to advance and retard the cams while doing this so you know everything will clear while making tuning adjustments on the dyno. (Which is where you should be tuning)

I will do this. does anyone know what I should start with before I tune it like for example +1 on the exhaust and -2 on the intake?

and the engine is still on a stand
