Let me know any help that you guys can give. THanks

I have pics that don't seem to be posting here so let me know and I can e-mail them.

Your marks will not line up again- they change as soon as the engine turns over. If you had them set correctly you are done.very close tolerences on this engine suggests that the timing marks be lined up exacty as specified in the book.
