I know what you are all going to say, timing is off. That is what I would tell myself too. I counted teeth at least 5 times when I did the 60k. I just noticed the CAS was way off while troubleshooting a lag issue. Having exhausted many other options, I ripped it all to pieces to count teeth again, and check the tensioner gap. 59,24,45,24 and the gap at 4mm. Just like I set it a year ago. I set the timing with a timing light on the PTU loop with the engine warmed up. I also verified the timing in DataScan, 15 degrees BTDC. To verify I am not crazy, I referenced my old engine and the CAS position:
This was set right in the middle, right where it should be. I took a closer look at the new CAS on the new engine. You can see where it was set before with the old timing belt. Look at the marks in the middle of the slot where is used to be set:
 And where it is now:
 What I keep telling myself is the timing is off a tooth.. yet every time I count I get the same exact numbers and they are correct. I am going out right after I post this to count them again. I am also going to have an assistant count the teeth for me. Please keep in mind when I did the 60k before, I did it with the engine on the stand, it was easy to count the teeth. All parts used for the 60k are all OEM parts. All the teeth on the CAS are fine, so the worn teeth issue doesn't apply. I am looking for any other theories on what might be going on here? It's a timing belt, not rocket science. I can count to 59. Alright going to count again. Thanks!

CAS is fully Clockwise after 60k? -
