Help, camshaft moved
Im having trouble figuring our if i will be able to align my camshaft to how it was before.
It moved during camseals replacement, trying to remove the bolt behind the camshaft sensor on passengers side. I used my drill to unbolt it counterclockwise( was holding camshaft with pliers but wasnt enough), and both camshafts turned with the spring power. so i tried to fix it by putting the bolt back and bolting it clockwise but it didnt worked. I have lock pin on crankshaft at TDC...will reinstalling the camshaft sprocket and turning it clockwise back to were it was be a solution?

Reinstall the pulley and the bellcrank (the oval thing with three holes), as well as the washer and bolt. Then use the locking bar to rotate the camshaft until the bar is roughly in the direction of the pulley on the other bank. Your camshaft will now be at TDC.

yes, it worked!!! thank you very much. At first I couldn't fit the bar, so i turned the sprocket counterclockwise just a little by hand and hold on to it and then i could fit the bar. It turned back smoothly to how it was.

One more thing, what are the possibilities of any bent/ broken valves?
still had the crankshaft at TDC with locking pin in, when I turned the sprocket back to place,I did it slowly, and turned smoothly, didnt forced at all, didnt heard any rough noises, only sounded like when you put a metal on sand and start turning it with little pressure.
