Luckily, this didn't cause damage due to my mild cam... When I did my first cam swap. I lined up the dowel pin on the cam to TDC on the crank. Came out to be about 90* advanced (I had no idea the timing mark was on the actual cam gear)... Went to turn it over and blew fire out of the intake.

List of things I know grew that day.

As far as saving some face. I knew what the problem was as soon as I tried to turn it over, went over and looked at my old cam gear, and literally said out loud in my empty shop. "I'm an idiot"
