I've almost complete my mini me set up, Only thing left is timing...

I have both the Z6 cam gear and an adjustable skunk2 cam gear...would I benefit from using the adj gear? and do I have to do adjust the ignition timing? This is my first rebuild, all has gone well so far...there is a lot of info out there about timing but it all seems to be different, just wanted to know how others approached this.

Thanks,

What kind of block and head combo are you using?

B7 block, Z6 head

Every time I put my timing belt on with the z6 cam gear, it seems there is too much slack between the crank and cam gear, after turning the engine a couple times by the crank bolt the cam gear is half a tooth short of the 7 o'clock pointer(clockwise-rotation). And if I line up the 7 pointer on the Z6 gear and then swap the Skunk2 gear in I end up at TDC with +2.5 lines adjusted. (1 line = 2 deg) so 4.75-5 degs adjustment of cam gear. The later, I beleive is more accurate but I'm not 100% sure, and from what I understand I could set ignition timing at 16 BTDC. Please correct me if I am wrong...

Thanx,
