Jerry --

Meant to ask you...does your engine have VVT? (Variable Valve Timing). And if so did you set the #1 TDC position by rotating the engine clockwise until the cam marks line up, then turn the crank another 90 degrees (1/4 turn) further clockwise, and then back (counterclockwise) till the cam marks lined up again?

And most importantly, if you do have VVT and did the above, did the cam sprockets move at all when you took off the old/replaced the new timing belt?

I'm reconsidering trying to do it myself again, but am having nightmares about the cam sprockets moving (without a cam lock tool)...and then I am toast!

Thanks,
G Squared
