did you make sure you were at dead top center you installed the syncronizer?? the arrow should face straight ahead,(parallel w/center line of engine).the best way to install this syncon.is to remove the #1 plug , disconnect the ignition ,crank the engine so the compression expell the #1 plug ,then check crankshaft damper and see if you are on the dtc. mark .if all this is correct everything should work fine.sometimes people install this syncon. 180 degrees out of center. good luck
