Doing my first timing belt job, aswell as 6 bolt swap. I have numerous VFAQ, and other tutorials and I just want to confirm a few things
1) My exhaust camshaft is off by the slightest bit. It was lined up as seen here
Rotate crank 6 times and this is how it looks
Is this the exhaust natural tendency that the faqs and tutorials were talking about or something else?
2) My crank after 6 rotations.
is off or am i being too ocd
3) The hydraulic tensioner after 15 mins does not raise that much. and i can still push a grenade pin thru. some faqs say its okay, some dont. whats the correct answer here
Thanks! hope to get back on the road asap
