yeah, uh about the fuel pump, i realized how much of an idiot i was as soon as i posted the message, "cough", my bad, but on a lighter note, ive discovered the problem!! i took off the valve and timing covers and had a friend try the engine, i saw that the cam gear was turning yet the cam shaft was not, upon further inspection i found the cam bolt completely loose, after much tightening we tried the engine again, still no cam shaft, i was scared but i removed the timing belt (thinking its already turned independently from the cam shaft so my timing was screwed regardless) and the cam gear, as i pulled the gear a tonne of metal chunks and shavings came with it, after consulting my repair manual i am now in need of a woodruff key which i will procure from my local junkyard, after that its just a simple() matter of correcting my timing, any pointers on how to do this would be greatly appreciated as i do not have a timing light nor would i know how to use it (most of my reapair manual is completely unreadable due to an unfortunate bevarage related incident), as for how we tested for spark, the only tool we had was a socket wrench so my friend wrapped his hand in a sock and stuck the wrench into the end of the wire and held it next to the nearest ground also any ideas on how to put my timing belt back on would help also...
