i thought i had everything right, set timing up to how 3.0 looks factory, but a piston is hitting an exhaust valve just before the piston goes down when i turn the motor. any suggestions?

 

my suggestion is to double check everything, including the secondaries. You can count the links between the marks on the chain and then count the amount of links between the arrows etc, however I think you will have to pull the main chain off to be able to see that the secondaries are correct anyways.

 

yeah double and triple checked.. we think it has to do with the cam adapters, thats one thing we weren't sure of.

 

any other suggestions?

 

You have them correct? Who made them?

 

Can you take a picture of the timing chain/sprockets?

 

stephenmaxx made them.

 

i will take pics tomorrow.

 

damn another 3.5 swap in ct. waiting to see timing set pics...im in the same stage
