We aren't psychic, we can't see what the settings are at. We are just on the Internet after all. Either post some pictures or be WAY more descriptive.

One of the Engineers themselves could be on here and STILL wouldn't be able to tell you which way to move the gear. There is no telling if they advanced or retarded each cam... so I can't say turn it left or right because when it comes to cars people do some CRAZY ****. Count all the marks and put it in the middle, it is pretty self explanatory. As long as you have factory or near factory cams you can go back to 0* / 0* but if they are aggressive cams you need to know the V2V / P2V clearances first.
