your my hero!!! lol but now with my luck listen to this i fixed the valve timing started it up and it ran perfect. so i went to take the valve cover back off so i could put the timing cover back on and fumbled a nut down into the timing cover and when i went to start it up to pull outta the shop i turned the key and heard CLANK and the car wont start!!! i thought i bent a valve!! but i remembered that nut i dropped and took the crank pully off and the lower timing cover and out fell the nut and a torn timing belt!!!! what luck...
