Follow Rons suggestions, When I tine the cam on most street engines I wlway check for split overlap. It's a simple thing to d. bring the #1 piston to TDC by the dot. both valves should be open aprox the same amt. If not, give the cranl another trip around and they should both be open. If they are not, you have a problem
