2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Did a cam / lifter swap, non MDS Stock spec cam from AMS racing. Everything went in great, after setting timing ( what i thought was correct ) engine started and ran fine but Autel was reading two small misfires on cylinder 3 and 7. Thought it was pushrods misaligned but now I think its timing. Every diagram and manual I have read says to mark the cam gear at 12 o clock and the crank at 6 o clock. My issue is i cant get either to align prefect. Either the cam is at 12:30 and the cranks at 6:00 or the cams at 12:00 and the crank is at 5-5:30. None of my rods bent or anything so Im not sure if my timing was or is even off. Autel was also reading the desired exhaust cam position to be 128 when actual position was 128.4 or vice versa
Wondering if anyone can help me out, photo posted below is how I had it when i test started and got two missfires
Cam phaser at 12:00
Crank gear at 5:30
How it currently sits
Cam phaser 12:30
Crank gear 6:00
