Ok, so I finally got around to pulling the front cover off and checking the timing chain today, despite the 9 inches of snow it dumped on us last night. The little dimples are lined up perfectly. My new question would be is there any way you could get the cam gear of by 180 degrees? I have heard it mentioned but it doesn't make any sense to me because once the crank goes around once, wouldn't it be lined back up? Second question: is there any way that the dimple could be off by a tooth? This whole thing is really throwing me for a loop, I would post pictures if I knew how to upload them into here but unfortunately I'm better with wrenches than key boards.
