[tech/help]2.0l 8V swap

[pellom@YorkU.CA (Sal Guzzo)]

Greg,

I installed the KS with the motor.  I referred to your web page (excellent
job may I add!) and noticed that I did exactly what you did wiring wise.
I'm resolved that my problem lies in timing.  I'll have to recheck it
tomorrow.  Like I said, I think that my problem lies with the cam sprocket.

Thanks for the help.

Sal
