need help i just put a built 2.0 gsr in my car motor is 84mm sleeved block with rods/pistons 9:1 comp and a p&p head with skunk 2 valves/springs/retainers gsr cams with camgears ok heres where i need help went to fire it up and it started right up but did not sound right so i shut it off and checked timing and the exhaust camgear was retarded -8 deg so im scared to start it now that i set it to 0 what to do ??????????

please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Start it back up with timing gun in hand, and ready to go.

 

Skunk2 camgears usually do not come with the adjustment bolts torqued down.

Set everything to Top Dead Center & perform a leakdown/compression test to see if you bent/damaged anything. You may even want to consider pulling the head to ensure you didn't make any contact between piston/valve valve/vale but I doubt you did.

 

thanks for the help my dumb *** was like a kid in a candy store just couldent wait to start it

 

if the valves are bent or motor is off timing the compression test number will be very low
