It seems to me like it is. The mivec cam gear is half a tooth off due to the taller deck height of the 2.4 block and i used a adjustable cam gear on the exhaust to match up the line on the cam gear with the valve cover. Could it be that the mivec cam gear is empty of oil and its not centered or how ever that works?

Gotta be worth a try putting it back to how it was, by the sounds of it it will be something small causing it not to start

Don't hesitate to double check anything. I know even for my cam installs I sometimes misalign important parts.
Edit: forgot to mention, apparently you're supposed to degree them approximately 3.5 degrees. One entire tooth is about 7 degrees. But then again, the MIVEC cam is a bit different isn't it?

Never mind. Got her started. It was the clutch safety switch. Cranked it over for about 30 seconds. Plugged the coils in and she fired right up and built oil pressure to over 100psi right away. Fixed the vacuum leaks and let her heat cycle. So far no coolant or oil leaks and she idles perfectly at 850 rpm with the old 2.0L tune on the same injectors.
