Re: timing

The timing chain is always what everyone says first. So I always take a picture of the alignment before I button it up. Then I have proof it's ok.

It's really not that common to screw up the timing chain. Most likely you have the dist installed wrong. That's something I mess up regularly.

And as for the gasket I just use the standard one that comes in the set with a little spray on gasket sealer. There's no pressure in that area to speak of.

I changed cams a while back. I tried to start it up and it backfires through the carb.
Does it sound like I did not line up the marks on the timing chain right ( 180 ) out ?
Is there any way to tell besides taking the timing cover back off?
What would be a good gasket to use?
Thanks
