Re: timing marks on cam gears
~10 inches is normal for cams with a low idle. The vacuum will depend a lot on what RPM the car is idling at. You might get 16 at 1050 and 10 at 800.
Only go by the 2 inner marks on the cam gears, the outer marks will not lineup correctly with the head.
The ticking noise from the PCV valve is 100% normal when you put in cams. The fix is to put a breather port on there instead and run it to a catch can.
