This is excactly how it needs to be but 20 teeth instead of 14 teeth difference from dot to dot on the cam gears.

Also if that's what made you're car skip teeth, you need a new tensioner. There is a locker that for any slack in the chain it locks it so it can't get any more loose. (you'll see the teeth on the tensioner when you pull it out.)

Soo, I pushed the tensioner in and spun the exhaust cam 2 teeth over. It starts!!! But it's misfiring alot at idle. I'm gonna mess around with it a little tomorrow. I'm hoping the crank gear isn't off a tooth, but I don't think it is because my exhaust gear pin is now pretty much straight up and down when the crank is at the 0* mark

Thank you guys!!!!!!

P.S. never never let your motor spin backward! If your parked up a hill, put it in reverse, parked down a hill put it in 5th. It literally took half a turn of the crank in the wrong direction to throw the hard timing off 2 teeth!!!!!! My tensioner should probably be replaced, but you never know, it could happen to you!
