use the factory marks as vaux marks are about 20 degrees out from TDC

Whats the best way to check this?

Do I just find tdc (using a tool to find when the piston is at the top) then make sure the cam pulleys are alined?

Because, according to the factory marks its all ok...

I had this problem on my golf

The crank pulley may be out by a tooth.

Remember one revolution on the crank pulley is half on the cams

ok....my car doesn't rev past 5k. when it reaches there its almost like a rev limiter or sounds like a misfire and its the same whether its moving or just revving it stationary.

Car info:

C20xe on twin carbs
Distributor from an old astra

So it has no ECU, no sensors AND the carbs have been jetted...

*Update: Changed the whole ignition system for a better design one. Still hasn't solved the problem!!

Ideas please :(
