The crankshaft is at TDC. The camshaft is 80-90 degrees off and the camshaft belt is removed so when I attempt to move the camshaft to the timing mark I feel more than a little resistance. I would not think that removing the spark plugs would have as much effect as it would if I were rotating the crankshaft. The prevoius replys suggested that I reset both the cam and crank to TDC and that is what I am trying to do but as I said the crank is at TDC and I meet resistance trying to move the cam. I certainly don't know much about this but I would be surprised if I bent any valves because as I said I rotated the crank 720 degrees with the belt installed and felt little resistance. It's possible that I bent some valves when I used the starter but I did not hear anything that sounded like interference. I don't already have bent valves I would hate to do so by forcing the camshaft to TDC. I may have dodged a bullet so far. If I decide to push the issue and force the cam to TDC - any suggestions on how best to do so. What I have done so far is put a pie wrench on the collar behind the rotor but I hate to put much more force on it that way.
