I found the correct timing marks and made them more visible with a marker. I hooked up my jumper wire under the passenger side kick panel, let the car warm up and when I put the timing light on cyl 1 and pointed the light at the crankshaft pulley, I saw that it was retard way too far. I then turned my dist. As far as it would go to advance the timing, and it was still around 5-6 deg off toward retard timing. What would cause this? How can I fix it?
Could I have messed something up when I put the cams back in?
If so, what do I need to do, which way should I turn the cam?
Could it be that the timing belt is a little loose? I tightened it up as much as I could.
Please help.
