Hi folks,
I'm trying to remove the stock cam in my b230f motor and then stick a "b" cam into it. As the hayne's manual has instructed me to do so I have removed the cam cover, removed the cam bolts and cam collars. So the cam has kicked up in the back by the firewall because the downward pressure from the collars has been removed. However, the front is still stuck down.
Should I have removed the cam timing gear sprocket before I popped the collars off the cam?
If I try to remove it now will that eff the timing up?
Maybe I should slide the belt off the sprocket while the sprocket is still in place? Will that be a bitch putting back on because of the tension on the belt?
I'm guessing I didn't read as much of the Hayne's manual as I should have.
Please see the picture below.
I appreciate anyone's thoughts/help about/with this. Thanks very much.
