The cams can 'spring' forwards/backwards when you remove the timing pins as when you pin them up they are on 'rock'. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

When the tension is taken off the camshaft, i.e. you remove them the valves will shut.Personally, I would time the exhaust one first, but that's simply because it's he more difficult one to get to as it's at the back.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

If you're not sure what you're doing as Chris says then it's best to pay somebody to do it for you. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
