I just got done building my 4g63. All new stuff including overbored cylinders and stuff like that. I get the timing set and start it up. I do the process for setting ignition timing to +5. I have the cam angle sensor all the way to the right ( looking at the motor from the drivers side) and look at the mark on the crank. It is an inch away from btdc and nowhere near the marks. When I adjust the cam angle sensor it just goes farther away from the marks. Could it be possible that timing is off by one tooth? I tried to 180 out the cam angle sensor with no luck. It still is way off. There's another problem as well. when the car gets warmed up and I press the clutch down to the floor the car tries to die. If I keep up the rpms at 1000 it's okay but anywhere else it dies. At first I thought It to be the clutch kit (SBR 3500 HD) but there's no binding. Then I find out that the fork's not engaging the pressure plate. After switching forks and putting 2 washers behind the ball I could get it into gear but it still tries to stall and I have to pump the clutch 7 times and the push it to the floor and the back off bout a 1/4 to get into gear. Any suggestions? I need some help please.
 
Have you checked the adjustment rod on the clutch pedal, also when you have to pump the clutch pedal it usually means either the master cylinder on the clutch is going or the slave is going bad, check the fluid level if its low check the slave cylinder for leaks in the lines and the master cylinder rod under the dash for drips. Might be crankwalk, LOL just kidding ROFL
 
yeah but i replaced the cylinders with basicly new ones that I bought not but 5 months ago for my gs
