4g64 timing help!
i need help in setting up the timing for my 4g64 block, it is a 2.1l with a 4g63 head and i know you have to retard the timing 3.75 degrees, but still im confused i need you guys to help me out.
timing belt is of 4g63's
skunkworks camgears
look at these pictures and tell me am i doing it right or wrong?
my tuner said that it was wrong but im confused, if the 3.75 mark lines up with the valve cover mark i should be right...

I cant directly answer your alignment question for a stroker. I will say this-- before you crank that thing if you have any doubts, turn that motor over by hand at least two revolutions be be sure you dont have piston to valve contact--if by chance you do you wont be able to turn the motor over as it will bind. Better to find out this way--then by new valves. GL.

Heres my thread on timing the 4G64

You will need to line up the timing mark on the cam and line that up with the valve cover. Then you need to advance the cam going towards the intake.
In the second set of pictures, you are wrong. The cams are going towards the exhaust. They should be going the other way.
I used a degree wheel. I recommend that because the 3.75 is a ball park number. The degree will vary depending on how much the head and block were decked. Mine ended up being 3.45.
With the adjustable gears, you can go 7 degrees each way and it will still run. You wont really notice a difference until you are tuning and start messing with the cam timing to dial it in, then pick up some HP. Going past 7 degres it will start to run poorly.
Mine vibrates as well without the balance shafts. Its not as bad as i thought it would be.

is that what your saying?
and the middle long line between the - + will be lined up to the valve cover mark like it is in the second set of pictures?
in the picture in your thread your mark is in +3.75...should i do the same?

Again use a degree wheel. You can probably find a youtube video of how to use one. Will will get you to 0 degrees of cam timing with the taller deck height. Then you can mess with the cam timing and adjust tq and hp curves.

Yes. The timing dot on the outside of the gear will be lined up with the timing mark on the cover. If you have the AMS tool, you can lock the gears and then move the cam in the +3.75 degree range.
