Timing
Ok guys here is one for you. I set the timing marks on a SBC 350 and put the motor together. The motor will start but kicks back really hard. It will start if you set the timing back and then turn it back up when it starts. Did I put the timing marks on top on both gears. Will a motor run like that?

Ok
The timing marks are together with the #1 piston up. After turning the engine over with the bottom mark up the cam gear is on top, so I am sure that the timing was correct. Now that I am putting the motor back together I found an intake valve that was bent. Would this have caused mthe motor to kick back when starting?
