Timing Belt Change Question

[TexasProton]

Thank you so much for the info Fen. looking at the bottom picture, that's where the Cam sprung back to, but when I rotated 90 degrees to match the top picture, it stayed there on its own. I think the safest thing to do is to the following:

1- Remove the LH Valve cover
2- Set the Crankshaft sprocket to BDC
3- Set the RH CAM
4- Set the LH Cam and confirm that when the CAM springs back that the timing marks are aligned on the gears, then move it another 90 degrees to align it with the timing mark on the engine
5- Install the timing belt
6- Rotate the Crankshaft Sprocket 2 full turns to confirm all the timing marks are still aligned with the marks on the engine

I'll report back this evening

Thank you so much for all your help

Not to beat a dead horse here Fen, but figure # 9 under step # 21 shows the TDC notch at the 3 O'clock position (Cylinder #2 at TDC position), you said you did yours at BDC, because the above did not work for you.

I must be missing something, but I don't know what it is. I tried it both ways at TDC and at BDC with the same results. I think I agree with you about the LH Cam being the issue. I'll follow the steps in my previous reply this evening

Thanks again
