Thanks for the replies. The cam that I have is new as are the timing chain and the gears. Swapping the cam out wouldn't exactly be fun (it involves pulling the heads since I have Indy SRs), so I'm really hoping that that isn't it.
If I have the #1 piston at TDC, how exactly do I check to make sure that the cam is correctly timed?
Thanks in advance.
