You can verify this by going to #4 TDC, pull the distributor and swing the rotor to Z1, install.
Now starting up, you will run on 4.5,and6. If it happens, you installed cams wrong

I believe my issue was a carb related issue. The 4,5,6 bank carb was overflowing.

If I was 180 off on the cam- wouldn't I have a valve striking issue? When I originally installed my cams, I was 180 off and I couldn't turn the engine cause the piston would hit the valve. I corrected it and it seems fine now. Is it still possible I could be 180 off?

My main concern is how to go about doing a break in redo. Just start over or start where I left off?
