set the engine to TDC for #1 piston. stick a long screwdriver in there and let it bob all the way to the top.

then take your distributor out and line it up like 1 tooth back from there the rotor hits cyl 1 pin. look at it under the dist cap. it's not where the plug wire goes in. if it's OEM you should see the numbering.

crank and see if it sound better...like close to starting. if not then back it up another gear tooth and and try again.

Really sorry to hear that the valves are bent

Sorry I've been out of touch. Haven't been here in a month.

Any plans? So many VG's lost to timing belt breakage
