[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1452788, member: 19880"] If you followed the instructions correctly, there should be no issue. Turning it over is "just in case" you somehow messed up the timing badly and you will hopefully feel the resistance due to contact between piston and valve before damage is done. Manually advancing the engine might tell you if you are off by more than two teeth (but not if you are off by just 1 or 2). The only way to tell for certain is to remove the valve cover and check cam alignment marks. As I said, there should be no issue but the first start after this sort of maintenance can be a white-knuckle event. Any difficulty removing the old and installing the new? Not much fun getting a wrench on the bolts and getting them broken loose (or re-tightening). [/QUOTE]
