Hello everybody merry Christmas ,
Building my type 4 engine and tried to degree my cam (86b) it seems do be way too advanced . Here are some pics for you to check , even by eye you can see that it’s too advanced . Using type 1 lifters .

To me it looks like the gear is mis-clocked. Beetles normally the oil pump drive slot to be pointing at the timing mark (3 bolts)

On type 4 engines its foolproof , they have a pattern and the gear. Can’t be misplaced

Look I haven’t but it looks even by eye that it’s waaaay off .
Tdc is very close though did measure it roughly before pulling the old engine apart

Please remove those internal tooth lockwashers. Use waves or just Loctite.
