I do not have the truck in my hands at the moment. Its about 40 miles away from me.

I am confident that the cam is installed correctly. If it was off as much as you mentioned, there would be obvious issues in how it was runnning.

It does not misfire.

It revs freely.


This weekend I will have an opportunity to take another look at it. I did have my friend remove the TPS for me and picked up a new one at NAPA. The new one seems to have quite a bit more resistance than the old one. Figure it cannot hurt to swap it out.

I suppose there could be a couple of bent valves from torquing the head down with the cam out of time a bit, but a leakdown test catches that easily.


The head did not have rocker installed until the cam was correctly timed with the chain.

We used your timing chain setup on another 22re with a stock configuration and set the cam the same way as I did on this one and has had no problems to date with 15k miles on it.
