Anyone have experience installing camshafts? I can't keep mine at TDC when I'm tightening it. I've tried tightening in these orders. 7,4,3,2; 2,3,4,7; 7,2,4,3; and 2,3,4,7,7,4,3,2 etc. I've tried all those patterns twice; the first time tightening the right bolt first, then the left, and second time tightening the left bolt, then the right. Yes, I am tightening all 8 bolts 1 turn before going through the sequence again. I've been working on it nearly 2 hours this morning and cannot get it to hold TDC. Advice? TIA all.
