Help, need to see if this is normal?
Just put to gether Ls/vtec so not using knocksensor. I have not chipped the ecu yet so i have a code 23(knocksensor).
The question is.....When every thing is lined up at top dead center, cams are set correct and everything looks great, why when I start the car shine the timming light on the crank it is perfect and when i shine it on the cam gears the exhaust is fine but the intake is like 2 teeth off
?
I then turn the car off turn the crank with a wrench until the gears are pointing towards each other and they are dead on, scratching my head but, is this normal?
please let me know
