Hey folks, I was able to get a quick, clean sounding, start-up after skipping time at Start-Up. (With some Help) I followed the steps for releasing tension on cam-retaining bolts and getting it back to TDC. The first attempt failed. After torqueing down cam bolts, TDC?..ing, and replacing belt, there was still interference. I realized.. (HOPED!) that TDC was 180 degrees off. Took belt off AGAIN...Loosened cam pulley AND cam-retainer bolts AGAIN...Turned crank around to TDC MARK....AGAIN. Zipped it all back to torque specs and timed to 1.05. Rotated crank to TDC 3 times with NO... INTERFERENCE.....Turned it over 4 or 5 times ( with loosened injector lines) to hear engine and bleed lines. After tightening injector lines it started instantly. No valve noise and no extra scary sounds. After letting it warm-up, I gave it a drive and it was great. No smoke, no rattles, no knocking. It's actually running smoother than before. I believe"TRUE TDC" was a bit off before the T-belt skip accident We'll see what the future holds for the valves holding-up and not grenading. Fingers will be crossed and prayers will increase. I am a Very Happy Camper right now!!! A Catastrophe Averted?...So far.... THANK YOU Lilybapa and Vince for the procedures and quick responses. It worked.
