[QUOTE="7Lemons, post: 16574844, member: 184681"] Thanks for the reply Riddick. First, the manuals do both agree to start with the LH side (driver's side) and there is a note that it's critical, for whatever reason. So... make note of that. I talked to Shaun @ AED just a little bit ago. For starters he said the Exhaust cams won't go in the wrong side physically. I didn't notice how they're keyed, I'll have to look at that as I sure didn't notice it. ALSO - he said that given the firing order, you should see that the cam lobes for 8-6 (driver's side ...LH) should be 90 deg out of phase from each other since they fire one after the other, and those cylinders are both on the LH side so you just look at that and you know you're good! Now - for setting the timing this was confusing. Shaun said he only works and does everything from 12 o'clock and never turns the crank, so I guess he then rotates the cams to compensate? He said he's never gone off any manuals (since he's been doing them so long and before they had the manuals). This kind of stinks as it's yet a 3rd way to do it and I'm not sure what to do? I DID install the LH cams, and I followed the 15 manual, which puts the keyway at 5 o'clock and then 12. And the data matrix's are NOT both pointed up (the L & M cams don't have a matrix and the exhaust one is slightly clockwise). Shoot!! I'll have to take it back apart if it's wrong. [/QUOTE]
