Bart in your guide your both your Cams spring to 12(as compared to the floor) pointing straight up as mine did when I first took the belt off. After rotating the engine a few more times(when I thought I had done it incorrectly) they did not spring to 12 and thus a relied on the TSB because I didn't want to mess things up. The TSB and your guide have the cams pointing in different directions so it may be that the way in your guide is the correct way to have the crank shaft when you do it that way.
If I had my car all apart as in not following any of the steps of putting it back together(no radiator and such) and just starting it after I put the belt on it should still start right? I was just going to let it run for 5 secs to make sure its on correctly.
As I said I put it together exactly as in the TSB and it turned for about 3 seconds and stalled. I dont know if I have to open the engine and adjust the cams from inside the engine or if that would even help at all.
Slowpro it sounds like you really know what your talking about. If I could get you on the phone that would be awesome.
