setting TDC w/ skunks
I took my cams/cam gears out, now Im trying to put them back in. The exhaust gear is advanced, and the intake gear is retarded(or it might be the other way around) would this cause the TDC marks on the gears not to line up when it IS at TDC??

This leaves for alot of questions to be asked. If you're lining up the gears to the TDC marks and the gears are already set (advanced or retarded) you should be straight. If they are not advanced or retarded, you'll need to get a timing wheel and time them with the crankshaft. This way you can turn the gears to the correct degree of advance you need.

The gears themselves should always line up as intened. The cams are what are getting changed in relation to the gears.
That looks like possible piston slapping too me...

Are you using adjustable cam gears or are they stock. If you're running the adjustables you can set them up in their intended positions and then rotate the internal sprocket to advance the cam. If you want to have it set up the way you do, it should be fine as long as the gear and the cam are in time, and the advancement and retardation is correct.
