Why is my cam gear off?
I had severe hesitation and pinging and checked timing the other day. The timing was severely retarded and I could not advance it even close to spec. Today I looked at the cam gear (TDC on number 1) and chain and this is what I found. Whats the best next course of action?

I just removed the drive bolt/cam gear bolt and moved the chain over a notch and it seemed to line up properly. Put it all abck together and it started right up but timing was still way off. I jumper-ed the timing check and I hear the truck idle down and the timing retards even more. If I disconnect the TPS and check timing the timing advances to almost 0 degrees. I dunno. I will probably do a new timing kit on it and go from there that way I know that is all good. Hopefully no valve damage is done to it yet.

Looking at your video from a couple weeks ago, link, it seems we all missed your abysmal oil pressure. Time to rebuild, at least the front end but likely more..

Ya I will check into it. I ordered a timing kit from engnbldr so we will see how it goes.
