That's 3 sentences in one. I'm not a grammar ****, but come on. At least try, please.

Now, how hot are we talking? And why are you trying to retard the timing? Are you using a timing light?

Are the pulley and hub matched? Considering that they are supposed to be 180* off of one another I would answer the second question with a *no*.... is it possible to get them NOT 180* from eachother, yes.

No. A rotary will only go together one way. Otherwise, it just won't spin. And I mean at all.

When I rebuilt mine, I dropped the thrust bearing, then re-installed the CAS drive gear backwards when I went in to fix it. That'll definitely screw with your timing.
