Im talking about tightening it. I got it off no probs and im using a 22inch snap on breaker bar so thats not an issue.

In relation to this.....probably the best way is to use a bar to lock the cams in place and tighten it as much as you can....you'll have to be very careful as the cams are ont very strong. The crank turns in a direction which should tighten the bolt instead of undo so as long as you get it firm and use a lot of lock tight and let it cure.

Never use the lever on the teeth of the cam though.

Only get it so the nut is firm so you can then take it to a REAL mechanic and ask if they can rattle it tighter if possible. They will have to remove the radiator but hey, then you got an excuse to get a flush done while you're there.

All of the above could be avoided if you had $250. Coz that's how much we would charge to do a timing belt for you. Would be done in 2.5 hours and you have a guarantee with it. Good luck with it all.
