that guy doesn't know shit, i would never let him wrench on any of my cars...

now this is just a random neons.org person question but when you put 2.0l cams on a 2.4 n/a you have to cut the nipples off the cam magnetand turn it 90degrees then tighten it back down....do you not have to do this on 2.0l going into a srt or am i missing when people have been talking about that?

The bottomline is, that when you have the engine TDC. The cam magnet has a marking or a slit if you will. That slit\marking lines up at about 5pm.

huh..... anyone have any pics of this part of the install....when i did a 2.4 swap into my 97 neon you had to snip off the nipples or your timing would be off....you cant just have them at "5pm" there are nipples that will only go in one spot and the only way to adjust it is to cut off the nipples and rotate the mag. 90 cam degrees(180 crank degrees)

you also had to cut and switch 2 wires at the coil.

look at your cam magnet

notice the 1 and only marking\slit

that slit will be at 5 o clock when engine is ATDC

before you put cam position sensor back on.

it will all line up for you in the end!!!
