New gears, at TDC, won't start
I installed AEM cam gears over the weekend and now the car won't start. The Crankshaft is at TDC, the Cams are at TDC, and the cam gears are set at "0". Today I'm going to charge my battery just in case that's the problem, and if that doesn't work, I'll make sure the crank is at TDC on the compression stroke, it might be on the exhaust stroke, but it shouldn't matter anyway if I've already set the cams at TDC should it? HELP me

It could be off a tooth. Some of the aftermarket cam gears markings are off and you have to compensate for it by advancing/retarding the camshaft.

It did the first day, but not the second day. It still turns the belt, but doesn't sound like it wants to start, it's down to a soft purr, which tells me it mights be low on battery juice.

I got it started today, wasn't the battery, just had to get the flywheel at TDC through the timing window. It started but it's a little noisy, probably due to some overlap, so I'm going to adjust the cams some more today. It's making alot of chatter, is it the valves?
