[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1437624, member: 19880"] Tore into it again. Drained the coolant, pulled the timing cover and removed the valve cover. Looks like the cams are OK with respect to each other (will have to check again in full daylight) but they are off one (maybe two?) teeth from the sprocket. The engine ran so I assume it wasn't enough to do any damage. I have done a fair number of valve checks and this is the third or fourth adjustment. Never had an issue before... Question on throttle cable routing. Over or under the coolant pipe? The original owner had it going under but I am thinking it should be over. Less likelihood of causing binding. Could someone confirm for Gen II? [/QUOTE]
