Dear Metallo,

"The B200FT is an interference engine, so I wonder if rotating manually the camshaft can create any damage. Also, on the Haynes manual they recommend to not rotate the crankshaft, camshaft or auxiliary shaft with the belt removed, which is why I ask for confirmation."

No as the head is already separated from engine block. No any piston to hit if you turn the camshaft. Yes reinsert the sprocket to make the job easy.
Note: Remember to re-position the two lobes at TDC for cylinder #1 before you reinstall back the head.


"How can I be sure the valve are closed while rotating them? Is it when the two lobes are at TDC point like cylinder #1 in my image? So, al I have to do is to rotate them until I get the two lobes in the same exact position for all 4 cylinders?"

Correctamundo!
