tommy m Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Have bought a new 2005 STI 2,5 lit short block and also 2 used STI 2004 cylinder heads fully equipped. Tried to put the timing belt on (crank pulley mark up and the two II cam marks against each other). Timing completely wrong when checking with 1st piston in full compression. Taking it apart again I found out my old and the new cams are different. The pin guiding the sprocket on the new cams are 45 degrees different from the old ones. The cam on the engine is the new one. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 id be concerned at the fact that the area the sprocket sits is longer on the new cam than the old cam in the first picture. where did you get the new cams from. id recommend that you give that company a call and see whats going on.

fahr_side Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Is it possible you got a set of D-AVCS cams for a 2008~ STi, or have transposed the cams left to right? Are those the same heads? The one on the bench looks to be different, and even looks like it has passenger-side cams installed in it.
