We changed the timing chains and the guides. Now the car wont start? We are thinking it's not in time. I have gas and a little spark. When I am trying to turn it over it turns slow. Do you know if the left cam should have play in it? Any ideas

Yes it does sound like you got the timing wrong and the camshaft I would double check the marks and then goes from there.

Here are some diagrams that will help you see if you are off or not?

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
