no the cam cannot be, however other issues could be worn keyway in the crank, causing the crank to rotate a few degrees out of timing, ive seen this one a few times now.

was the comp test done with the motor warm, all plugs ut and throttle held at WOT while cranking?

YES the cam gear can move on the cam, if the dowl locator snapps on the cam then what happens is that the gears are still in time but the cam is retarded, this happened to my engine and it had 30psi in all cyls and it still ran as well.

Take the harmonic balancer off, take the timing covers off and put the engine on TDC and make sure the bottom timing mark is correct as well as the top ones.

Get a shifter and put on the cam (you need to take the cam covers off) and try turn the cam gently. If the cam turns without the cam gear turning then you would have snapped the dowl and it might only be a little bit out. It can get worse and if you dont fix it now it could slip around and smash valves.

Also check your compression tester, the engine could be all OK

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
