So I have a question for anyone who may know about this job. All stripped down and locked cam down, and flywheel. Pulled variators and installed all new guides installed new chains replaced variators all timing marks perfect and installed the new tensioners
So here is my question. When I rotate the engine, the variators and cams click and then timing marks are off on the cams back around one rotation. I rotated engine about 10 revolutions and the marks come back exact on point and the variators only click every 8 revolutions now. I repeated this and came back to perfect timing. I did it to ensure it would replicate.
this is my first 5.0 engine chain job, I am a RRC guy who has done about 8 full restorations of those.
Anyone with some insight would be GREATLY appreciated before I bolt this back together.
