    They are a full tooth difference...not 1/2 tooth. Look at the keyway.

    Yea, you're right. I looked at it too fast. Being as the crank is spinning twice as fast as the cam, a half tooth can be a lot of crank time, making it all important to pay attention to the marks when putting it together.
