It looks like I am on the correct gear (the pointier one, closer to the variator). I measured the height of the old vs new cylinder and head. Both are within 1/32" of the other. I also checked where the tensioner mounts onto the cylinder and they are the same. The chain literally sags to the point where it is a cm or so from touching the chain on the opposing side.
I have never seen this engine run.. I'm beginning to think that the chain is stretched? This is the engine that had the cylinder studs mismatched. Is it possible they somehow stretched the timing chain? I'm not sure how but that is the only thing that makes sense at this point. Everything looks good except for the chain seemingly being too long. I also compared the number of teeth on the new cam versus the old and they are the same..
