On what car??? You have to remove the serpentine belt just to get to the timing belt,, yeah it's all very easy (umm serpentine belt is hella easier than timing belt) but time consuming.

Cam gears are on, cost $153. Any tips on adjusting them. The shop went ahead and cut part of the middle timing belt shield away so I have full access to the gears. What should I try out, just like 3 degrees advance on intake, or both, or what? And which way is advanced which way is retarded (I'm stupid)? Thanks. By the way, they are fidanza cam gears.

 why must people think they can slap on cam gears an just adjust them and make power... EACH car would be differnt.... goto a DYNO have them properly tuned.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Joe, can you show me a dyno within a hour from my house, even 2 hours??? Not everybody lives in a big city. That's why I was asking for some recommend settings to TRY out.  Though I was asking people that have adjustable cam gears, so I didn't really need a reply from you.  And Russell, I didn't do the work,, so I had to pay. I didn't want to do it and I would really need another vehicle to drive while I work on the contour, which I don't have... I know you do since you had your contour down for months... not everyone is lucky enough to live in big cities or own/have access to multiple vehicles.
