So I did the opgs on my 17 gt got everything together and got code p0019 crankshaft correlation with camshaft then a misfire so some how I messed up timing.

I did notice that the dark marks never matched up before I removed the chains no matter how many times I turned the motor so I just lined up the r and p marks to where they are supposed to be for the install and pulled the chains.

I reinstalled the chains dark mark in correct places according to the ford manual. Even did the 5 all the way to 5 then to 12 step and still some how not right. Lund told me what’s going on but I’m not exactly sure how to correct it that’s why I’m asking for help.

Idle Bank 1 Intake is -1.90 while Bank 2 Intake is -36.1 and the Bank1 exhaust is 5.8 degrees with Bank 2 Exhaust at -29.5. These are average degree amount I tooth is approx 16 degrees so it looks to be two teeth off approx.

For proper reading Both Intakes at idle on a 2015+ should read +30-31 degrees and Both Exhaust at 0 to -0.5 degrees .

So which chain or chains do I need to adjust and does the dark mark need to go counterclockwise or clockwise? Or do I need to get a tool to rotate the cams?

Sorry been working on this thing for awhile and just out of ideas Atm. Sorry to ask just trying to get my car going again.

Take it apart and do it over. Putting it back together is the only time you know mechanically you got it right.

Figured I had to tear it down but just repeat the repair manual steps( unless they changed form the 16 to the 17?) I only ask cause I don’t want to end up with the same result, wish I would of marked where the stock was instead of relying on factory marks so I could at least see the difference. It’s not hard to tear down just don’t want to have to do it a third time.

Don't think they changed for 17'. Unfortunately there is no way to really know its off when taking it apart. Until you have it set up correctly to put the chains back on, thats the only time you can 100% say it is correct. I held up an analog clock to the crank to make sure I was really close to 5 oclock on the first one I did, it turned out my perception of 5 oclock and where it actually was, was off enough to have caused a problem. Now that I have done a few, the best advice I can give is take your time, and follow the directions to a T.
