timming belt ?

[CMiuc12s]

I was just putting my timming belt back on the car and well, I ####ed up and made the exhaust cam 1 tooth advanced. Everything thing else is lined up good. Just that. Will it be ok(HKS 272 cam, .057mm head gasket, standard ss valves), or should I go ahead and do it over? I need help fast from Wisemen.

Do it over. It won't run right and you can ruin parts if you run it that way.

NO! Id reset the cams and make sure both timing marks are lined up and in time with the crank. Being one tooth off will not bend the valves due to the pistons smacking them, but it will cause your car to run like crap if it runs at all. It only takes one tooth, heheh.

Thought so! Thanks fellas!!! DO OVER!

Do it over. You will get more sleep at night. :laugh:
The motor will also run better.
