Are you using the cat tool to set the backlash? How is it jumping time? Stripping the gear teeth, or is the idler gear adjustment slipping from where you set it?
-
yes on the cat tool its not stripping the gear teeth the idler gear is'nt slipping when it slips time it shears off the gear for the cam shaft.
-
Are you sure the cam turns freely, and it's not binding causing the gear to shear off?
-
It sounds like you didn't get the bolts tight that hold idler gear in place causing it to back away resulting in excessive gear lash. This is the first time I've heard of a c15 jumping time and I've worked on and overhauled my fair share. Have you pulled the front off of the motor too look for other missing or broken teeth?
