and thats for the one that goes on the gam gear into the cam shaf right?

M12x1.25x30 = 12mm bolt X 1.25 threads X 30mm long

Seems like a silly thing to ask. If the timing is messed up, the car will not run correctly. Fix the timing and go from there. Make certain your balance shaft and oil pump are correctly timed as well.

i was wondering what part of the timing you guys thought was messed up because we checked everything multiple times, we were thinking the oil pump thing too

welli bent 2 valves so after i get those replaced ill see if we can get it but that would explain the idle and the wierd vacume readings.
