so over the weekend i have taken the head off polished everything resealed everything snaped it back on had hard time starting it bearly got it goin and car runs like *** sounds like a civic and leaks power like a sunfire once you gas rpms don't go up how they supose too. Wel i figure its timing the crank must of moved a notch or two as well when i took the cam out to change valve seals i never marked it ..am i aa dumb *** So is there a way to correct timing without removing timing chain cover ???:help and if there is no other way how can i remove my timing cover the fast way becouse according to the manual you need to drain alll fluids and remove rad and so on....

 

if you think you can keep your engine relatively clean, cut that ***** off with a dremel. seriously, i kid you not.

 

i would advise aginst that...
pull valve cover
line your crank pully to the orange/red mark.
check to see if the dot and key mark are lined up properly...
if not you will probaly have to remove all the crap and pull the cover.
remove the chan and line up the cahin marks to your dot.
then put it back together
it's gona be tough because you didnt mark your timing.
if you need any help just emil me.
i'm an expert at KA24E timing
later
and good luck

i just had a thought.
you could set your engine toTDC.
and pull off the cam sprocket and ajdust it somewhat.
it'll be hard to get the sprocket back on but you'll be able to do it.
that way you can make minor adjustments on the cam with out removing everything.
but you will have to be careful not to drop the chain in the cover.
and try to keep the crank at TDC
and like i just said...email me
