Timing Belt Problems

[nfpgasmask]

Thanks, PK. I am not planning on changing my instructions, however, I did make an annotation to them that explains the descrepency. The last thing I want to do is confuse people!

I don't think there's anything wrong with your guide, I just didn't understand what I was doing at the time. If you just say this part is easy line up notches, remove old belt and place new belt on in the same spot. Might make it seem less complicated.

On to my problem
I did everything in this video to a T and tried to start the car without putting it back together. I didnt turn over at all. I assume it would still start.

The cams spring into place every time and I am not losing a tooth. Perhaps my Cam gear retaining pin is sheared as it mentions in the video. Im guessing I don't need to take the heads off if the cams are springing to the correct positions every 9 rotations?
