Hello, getting ready to rebuild this 1500 I got a few months ago. I've searched through the many timing posts but have not found the answer to my question. Checking it over prior to disassembly I find that when the crank mark is at tdc, the cam mark is off about 1/2 tooth. It looks like the block has never been rebuilt but the head has definitely been redone, there are signs, including a small circular stamp from some machine shop. Could this condition be caused by the head having been over surfaced? If I moved the timing to the next tooth, it would then be too far. What else could cause this? Just trying to plan ahead for the rebuild. Sadly, I can check the transmission marks since it's already on a stand. Thanks in advance
