Hi everyone,I botched my first adjustable cam gear install.Unfortunately i forgot to set the timing marks to tdc.I took of the vtc cam and exhaust cam gear and swapped them out for greddy ones.i could not get the 2 black links to match up with the notches in the cam gears.plus to make matters worse when i was rotating the harmonic balancer it would get a little tough to rotate at one spot.im hoping i didn't bend a valve??PLEASE some one help
