OMFG. Change that belt. If you move the belt on the crank one notch and it seems to be a half tooth out on the crank either way, then it is out.
I spent an hour figuring that out, and promptly gave myself a a swirly for be a retard and not realizing that from the start.

hell ya change that belt

 

[eyebrowski]

dont worry i am changing it now...i had it towed home after the accident

ok, after lining the oil pump/crank sprockets up it looks like my exhaust gear is off, i'll take care of that when the new belt goes on.

one more question...

if my exhaust cam is rotated counter-clockwise 1 tooth is it retarded or advanced?

From those pix the cams look close - but isn't the crank & the Oil Pump off a tooth - It almost looks like a "pre-tensioned" belt looks before you finish tensioning it - can't wait to read the story on that groove! My bet is nuthin's hurt - MERRY CHRISTMAS!

well when you line the oil and crank sprockets with the indicators the cam sprockets become unaligned, the intake is fine but the exhaust is noticably off.

and yes i believe the engine is fine

Great - say Hello to George Senior for me - & use the Grenade Pin to set the Tension...
