Re: Cam Question

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I let the machine shop assemble my early Hemi shortblock as it would be 
under warrantee if he did the assembly.. In checking his work after I got it 
home, I discovered that he had used one of the cam advance-retard marks 
instead of the correct timeing marks on the timeing chain  gears. . 
Wouoldn't that be fun trying to diagnose why the engine wouldn't run right?
