Default Cam timing off on driverside

I just set up the timing tool and found this pass side at 0 Driver side who the hell knows. Seems like I ned to move the cam over a couple of teeth, any feed back, how far off is this ?

You have the driver side tool in the wrong notch!

Never mind I had the tool on wrong they are both on 0 can I leave them this way or should I place the pass side on -2 degrees?

It's missing the radiator so it's very cold, as cold as it gets in Florida that is!

2° isn't much, and it will take some work to make it right, but if you want it to be purr-fect, then reset the passenger side.

The most effective method for perfection I've found is to set the timing, spin the engine with the starter (EZ-? disconnected) to equalize the belt tension, turn the engine back to O|T #1, and check both sides again (repeat ad nauseum).

If I have enough play I'll try the -2 Degrees on the pass side.
