having a little issue...

Your timing set should NOT be noisy this soon. What set is it? I usually spring for a double row set. You can get one for less than 100 and its cheap insurance.

was the cam degreed in?

generally, as the chain wears it retards the cam timing.
but as it wears, upon loading and unloading.. the cam timing can jump all over the place both ways.

i think i went double roller but i'll have to see when i get the dampner off. and no the cam was installed striaght up. can i get a key for 4* adv??
