I bought the engine from a guy who said it ran before it was pulled. I never heard it run, so I'm trying to explore the possibilities. I could have installed this opti wrong. Yes. And as I stated I will pull it and check it.

Injuneer, you know your stuff and you have helped me many a time whether you know it or not, just by reading through some of the tech articles on this board. I did not mean for this thread to go into the Opti install discussion as my last one did. I was just trying to see if there was a way I could check the timing. Im sorry if I came off as a punk to you.
