Are you sure you don't have the wrong cams?

You should pull off one timing chain and then test fit your other chains to be sure. Pull the part numbers off the cams just to be sure as well.




You know what Tom? Look at the pics of the chains on the sprockets. It looks like the links between the pins are resting on the tops of the teeth - thus stopping the pins from seating deeper into the sprockets. I wonder if the cams are indeed wrong??



what picture? i know the cams are from a different csvt and all the timing componets are from another



So I'm not really familiar with 2000 model year SVTs but I do know that 1999 used the large pitch chains and cams. I THOUGHT that all SVT cams used the larger pitch chains.
It looks to me like you have large pitch chains on small pitch cam sprockets.

So unless someone can verify that MY2000 cams were small pitch then I'd think you don't have SVT cams in there.

Who has worked with MY2000 SVT cams and can tell us absolutely whether they are small pitch or large pitch sprockets?
