i made sure that the bottom end was tdc and that the rotor are was pointing to plug number one.as soon as i had removed the rocker cover sure enough it was staring me right in face!i had got the valve timing 180 degrees out!
once i had turned the cam shaft to where it need to be put the the belt back on and put it all back together im rememberd somethink i had been told,turn ignition on and turn dizzy until it clicked and then turn it back abit????????so i did!
i turned the key and????????BRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMM SHES RUNNING AT LAST!!!
