Thanks for the reply!

After I took my old timing belt off, I accidently removed the tool that I had stuck in the cam shaft slots, and the exhaust cam and sprocket moved half a tooth counter clockwise.

I figured I'd hafta loosen the sprocket and move it back a half a tooth to the right before it would work, because I can rotate the cam to straighten it up, but the sprocket doesn't move back with the cam.

Can't do anything for now though, cuz I got the wrong parts.
