It does sound like the cam timing could be off, yet:

I've disassembled the front of the engine a couple of times to confirm that the cam timing marks all are correct, and they are. And, it doesn't seem that the damper has spun, as the timing marks on the timing cover line up correctly after re-assembling the front of the engine.


Weirdness.
