I am sure based of what JFP said I mixed the chain types. I guess I need to figure out where to go from here. If I get the IMS from the donor engine I assume I need to change the cam chains and sprockets out to? Not even sure how to specify what chains I need??? I didn't see a distinction between chains when I ordered all my rebuild parts.

When Porsche changed the chains, they also changed all the chain gears as well, so using either design requires ALL matching gears on the cams was well in order for everything to align.
