Hello All
I screwed up during a timing belt install when I rolled the crank to take out some slack [hint: don't use the fcpeuro self-help youtube for pointers]. Now I have to roll the cam pulleys to bring them back to mark. Important question/concern: If the crank is set at the hash mark, can I safely roll the cams around by hand to their marks without fear of banging the pistons?? I see no other way to bring all three back into synchronicity but I am scared @#$%&$# of losing my engine.... I am not sure where the crank mark should be so that no pistons are at top of their cycle.

Thanks
-Sherm
