Here are some better pics. I think I will be ok, only thing I could see would cause misalignment would be that I'm using two of the same gears. I did read and ask a few people if it would work and all said yes. Let me know what you guys think tho!

Your bottom marks are fine but your top isn't. Check it with a ruler, I guarantee you're one tooth off.

Same gear doesn't matter, they're marked on both sides to be universal, at least on 1g's, 2g's had the cam position sensor I believe.

Redid the timing. Look better? Also got turbo on. Found out it's a small 16g! Been hurt and unable to work on the car much so it's taking a little longer now.

Finishing up the wiring harness. Had to lengthen 2 plugs. Hoping to start it up tonight then finish putting the suspension, tcase and exhaust back on.
Crossing my fingers this engine doesn't have any problems.

Went to go start it last night and for some reason the ecu is not getting power. No check engine light, just the door open and srs light. Hoping it's just a relay or fuse somewhere. Harness doesn't seem to be messed with. Will look into it tonight.

Check your ECU grounds.

Got power to ECU. Engine fuse was partially blown. Starter seems to be locked up. Going to swap it out today and see if it starts.

Does it even try to turn over?
Maybe pull the spark plugs and crank it a few times to make sure the motor isn't just flooded.

Wasn't cranking because of a bad clutch switch. I unplugged it and now it cranks over. Which is weird because in link it showed the switch working.
Tried starting it but I think the gas in it is a couple years old and bad. (Has fuel and spark and compression and the 1g cas is not 180° Backwards.) It will crank and start so a second then die/ sputter like bad gas.

Going to drain the tank today and put in a couple gallons of fresh 93.
