After inspecting the oblong groove and location notch, I have been putting the groove dead center in the notch in the cam, not to the left of the notch.....

See the attached photo, I did get it to lline up like this, that would tell me that with the notch dead center of the groove would make it off about a tooth and the timing would be a mess cam wise...

Agree? And is the photo correct with the notch to the left?

Thanks!

I think we are getting closer...

In short I think that I advanced the cam about a tooth or so...
