Nope. There's no reason why it shouldn't run fine installed dot-dot with two different timing gear sets.



So you'll have no idea where the cam timing and evidently you don't care.

Try and not be offended when I say that you shouldn't assemble engines. For you, or anyone else. Until you learn how to degree a cam, and WHY you do it, every single time.


I can give you reasons why dot to dot is a bad way to do it, but you wouldn't care.


There is no reason EVER to skip the simple process of degreeing a cam. EVER.


There actually are good reasons to not degree a cam every single time, but you wouldn't care so why bother.

Let us know when the coil or distributor fix your problem.
