Originally posted by Jeff_99gs Just take the timing belt off, line up all the timing marks, and put the belt back on again with a new tensioner. That might work.
really? what if i get the cams opposite of where they need to be or something. should i pull the timing belt off, then move the cams some and then move the bottem end. the bottom end has the two center pistons up right now and maybe they are stopping against the valves.
what do i need to do to convert this to a non interferrence engine...
EDIT: this is what someone on tuners said to do.
"Use a big-ass screw driver to pop the rockers off of the valves, then the cam will no longer force the valves down as you rotate the motor. When the mark on your crank says you are at T.D.C. on #1, do the marks on the cam gears line up?"
is that a good idea? how hard would it be to get the rockers back on and how much work would i have to do to get them on? i dont really feel comfortable doing that by myself since i dont know dick about heads....
