"the flywheel bolts aren't all symmetrically drilled so you can only put it on one way"Is this statement True?
Ok, if TDC is lined up and the cam/ pump off, then to correct them to TDC then belt would have to come off in order to make a adjustment. Correct? The only reason the belt is off as of right now it is that i replaced the pump. Cam has been locked. But if your saying that the TDC can be thrown off by just a bump of the car? So then i'll have to set it either way just from the fact i took the belt off and replaced the pump.
this is also a mechanical head, i was always led to believe that its a NON-interference engine. And that if the belt snaps it wouldnt even bend valves.

And that if the belt snaps it wouldnt even bend valves. technically, if you really wanted to get down to it, the hydro head would be LESS of an interference type, because of the hydro lifters. they SQUISH a little bit, rather than being solid metal-on-metal..either way tho, hydro or mechanical head, they are both EXTREME INTERFERENCE.like was mentioned, the cam timing is EXTREMELY important..and your pump should have 3 BOLTS holding the front of it to the pump bracket. then another bolt back by the high pressure lines..the bottom bolt is OFTEN overlooked, because of how hard it is to see/get at..
