i recently had a edlebrock timing set put in my gn, after about 500 easy miles it died going to work one day i took it apart and come to find out the top sprocket came apart....looks like it was heated to much or something when being made becuase its very brittle,anyway i did a compression test and it appears that all cylinders have compression and with the valve covers off nothing looks bent,also after the car died i tried turning it over it the cam must have stopped on a non interference spot, so my question it im gonna put a cloyes double roller on, should i just put the sprockets on dot to dot, or does the top one have to have the dot at the top, right now i set it up with the #1 on tdc then the cam on compression for that cylinder but the dot was down so its dot to dot now,will that change on each revolution because it only spins 50%? am i ok with the way i set it or is it 180 off? oh yah and edlebrock took the sprocket for testing and it looks like there gonna pay 80% damages and labor so that helps.....it ruined my timing cover,my cam sensor,and put alot of chips in the oil pan but i think everything will be ok if i drop the pan and clean it,put a nex pickup in and replace the other parts,let me know what you guys think....thanks for any help in advance
