      Tightening the tensioner bolts crank moves straight past tdc... I mean far past, i'll make a video of it . But when that happens the cam doesn't move at all , even when its supposed to be 1/2 the movement of the crank.

        Do you have the spark plugs installed? Are you sure you are looking at the correct marks to set the timing? Did you not replace the stamped steal gear???

            That's the worst one, unless you're looking for boost too.

                    Went for a drive in the Malibu canyons this AM (Latigo to the bottom of the snake and back again) as a shakedown for my new suspension. I love it so much. ;D

                    Had a good chat with an older sti owner at the snake parking lot, saw the new NO PARKING signs everyone's been saying are the end of days, guessing things will go on as normal.
