Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 12, 2012, 4:55 PM Post #3 of 3 (1306 views) Re: car problem Sign In Just curious, but why were the heads pulled? Did you get the cam caps switched? Did you make sure that when the chain was installed the marks on the gears were pointed to the marks the manufacture specifies? We can't answer those question for you because your the one who is there putting it together. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
