Ill see want I can do I have to pull the right side back apart and redo it because I have a P0300 code which is multi cylinder misfire and the right side has some loud valve chatter. I'll take some pics and do a write up while fixing that tomorrow.

So I figured out the problem. When I put in the left side I didn't get the guide pin in right and so when I screwed in the timimg gear it pushed in the guide pin. So until I get a new cam in I put the stock ones back in. Here are some pics to keep the pics mob at bay

Here is the right side

And the left that I messed up
