Started pulling things apart (BTW, Craftsman has a great 10 mm universal for that 'tough driver's side' bolt). Set the crank to top dead at the Harmonic AND the timing mark on the flywheel - the dot on the cam sprocket is 3 teeth retarded! It is aligned perfectly with the top edge of the valve cover - not the gasket. Would this thing even run with the cam that retarded?

More details: The dot is on the outside of the sprocket, has Audi, logo, and PN on sprocket. The logo (4 rings) are actually aligned... ********************************AUDI FAN****************************** EMCM(SW) Dave Head 87 5KCSTQ 170K miles and counting... 1.8 bar boost - @ 1.3 the shuttle launches Maitland FL **********************************************************************
