answering in line, red.
I’ve read the articles already regarding the cog and such.
The only thing I think I could have messed up is maybe I slipped a tooth when putting the timing belt on.
Pretty sure I did it perfectly, but maybe I made an oops.
I however did not mess with the main crankshaft Bolt. (bad idea if this is your first hand on, work on this engine(60k mile service, ?)
I’ve left it on.
When I did have the head off, the piston was all the way at the top when crankshaft cog at marking.
I could move the cog slightly forward and slightly behind the alignment mark without moving the piston down at TDC.
All spark plugs were removed. Battery charged.
Location: Atlanta, GA 1000 feet, so
I HAVE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST REMOVED. Just the engine block + head. So free air flow in and out.
.005 feeler slides easily during lash set, 0.007 impossible on most cams. (go no go for .006' sure perfect) each at TDC, firing.
