Replaced all three timing chains. Had everything lined up correctly but when I rotated the engine 7 revolutions both cam chains are 1 tooth off. Rotate 7 more times and both cam chains come up 2 teeth off. Is this normal?

Hi David,

From what you describe this sounds normal. Take a look at the timing verification procedure and see what you think.

Please let me know if you need more info and I am happy to assist.
