First off, my condolences. Sorry you have to subject yourself to this pain. Being serious, what I find happens is, tension...tension...tension. If you don't have everything locked into place, you're going to fight the tension HARD. What was happening to me was the Exhaust Cam Bank 1 would fight me day and night. Is that what is happening to you?
I think so yes. Rear exhaust Cam jumps. I've bought a new belt and hydraulic tensioner for it. Plus some spring clamps to hold the belt in place. Just waiting for time to get it done. Thanks
Ooooooof. Big ol oof. Seriously, I’m sorry to hear that. Were I you, I’d pull the valve covers and try to find the marks that way. I THINK they should have arrows or marks on them somewhere inside too. I’ll take a look at some of my manuals to see if that’s something that’ll work.
Hey, so I have some info for you. First things first, your mileage may vary and as always, do things at your own risk. Now that, that's out of the way. -I can tell you from experience that the cams don't USUALLY just spin and keep going in whichever direction, they usually stop at some point especially if the crank is at TDC. Hopefully yours is, reason being? I'm pretty sure they push the valves into the pistons which causes them to lock but not really damage anything unless you try to force it past the stopping point. -That being said, these guys here did a WAY better job than I could explaining how I'd go about the task of finding cam angles and tdc. www.hammerperf.com/ttspotcheckcamtiming.shtml -Lastly, from the looks of it I'm pretty sure they have indents in them that match up with the camshafts. They should go on, one way. Now typically the sprockets have a notch in them right on the lip where you can see the yellow paint on my video. I'd start there and triple check to make sure they're there on any of the cams, check the backs too!! That's about all I got buddy. I hope you get this figured out!
Hi, I m having trouble getting my cams from jumping out of time. Any ideas? Doesn't make sense to me.

I'd look for the physical groove and not the paint on the cam gear .
@@rando.franciscansecular6201 There should be both...usually.... Hopefully.
