I understand under roatating conditions i dont want valves to hit the pistons

however is it imposible to rotate the cam with valve spring tension when removing and reinstalling the timing set???

i am just looking to disasemble this hurt motor, are these tools needed?

what exactly are they for??

thanks a bunch
Chris

 

well i found one post that claims the tools arent needed,
i guess i am just worried the cam will go flying to a certain spot under spring tension, maybe not

 

Here's some info - http://www.modulardepot.com/?show=articlesdet&aid=32

When I swapped heads, the only specialty tool I used was a pulley remover for the crankshaft pulley. Otherwise it was just regular sockets and torque wrenches.

 

thanks Ted'98

well it looks like i dont have to worry about it, the machine shop is going to install new chains , so they are getting the motor ,timing cover and all

thanks a bunch, still usefull information, i am sure this wont be the only mod motor i get into

thanks
Chris
