No, either your cam timing is off or the crank pulley has separated, giving a false tdc mark. Check true TDC for #1 cylinder with a long screw driver and rotate the crank so it at the highest point.

If you look at 3:00 o'clock on CAS disc, the #1 cylinder big slot is visible. It's not supposed to be visible if you are truely #1 TDC. At true #1 TDC, the big slot would be covered by the CAS sensor. What your pic shows is the CAS is reading #3 cylinder.

This is how it is now after making sure its tdc again and the cam gears have the small dot aimed upwards and the first cam lobes closest to the cam gears are facing away from each other[img][URL=http://s44.photobucket.com/user/mbrider89/media/20141030_155440_zpszae8mhtz.jpg.html][IMG]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f6/mbrider89/20141030_155440_zpszae8mhtz.jpg[/img][/URL][/IMG]

Like Lynch said the rotor should be pointed at #1 based on the cam chain and sprockets pic.

Here's some info about the CAS disc. It has 360 slots on the outside edge and 4 slots on the inside. The 4 slots represent TDC compression for each cylinder. So there is no mistake as to whether it's on the compression for intake TDC. The is a 2:1 gear ratio between the crank and cam sprockets. This mean the crank spin twice as fast as the camshafts. When you rotate the crank 360 degrees, the camshaft and CAS disc has only move 180*.

Could the end of the distributor (that is keyed for the cam) be damaged?

In this pic the ecu thinks the engine is at #2 TDC

In this pic, it thinks the engine is at #3 tdc. So you are off by +-180 off.


Now the question is, did you touch the camshafts? Taking them on and off.

BTW, take some pic of the cam sprocket and chain at TDC for #1. You using somebody else pic does not help. We need to know your engine.

I think i found the problem I went to take the distributor off to turn it 180 and found this (
