ok recently i changed a bunch of things on the front of my motor. balance removal, timing belt, auto tensioner, oil pump gasket, blah blah blah. anyway as i put everything back together the exhaust cam gear was off one tooth. i turned it over by hand just to make sure before starting it and it was all good. today i timed them perfect and now my question is "why am i feeling a slight power loss?"... now im not to sure on what "retarded" and "advance" means when it comes to cam timing ,but the exhaust timing mark was one tooth above the spec. mark. so in other words "counter-clockwise".
should that slight timing difference really effect the power like i felt?
AND
is it bad to have the exhaust cam off like that?,i thought the intake was the one that would make a power difference?
thanks.
