[QUOTE="PNWSVT, post: 16052733, member: 192698"] Heres where i am at so far 1. After not being able to get the crank socket to fit over the crank keyway correctly (the crank socket from comp cams) I was able to find a way to eventually get it to work without damaging anything, I set the keyway to the 9 oclock position so as to freely rotate the cams without having the valves touch the pistons. 2. Heres where I ran into a problem; the OTC 6498 comes with the camshaft locking tool, which I guess in theory works great with a stock cam, as it attaches to the machined center section of the cams. But I have comp cams XE274BH-116 Cams that do NOT have a machined round center section but rather a 1 1/2inch Nut on all 4 cams. So to keep my cams positioned correctly I am having to use an additional set of hands and two 1 1/2inch wrench's. So thats neat 3. I am going to pull the rockers off the drivers side head in about 20 minutes, once that is done I will go through the process outlined by [USER=4360]@jrgoffin[/USER] in his Aluminator Gibtec build. At first I was pretty intimidated by this all, but he was right, once you actually get your hand on it and start seeing the process it gets easier. My intent is to have the engine back in the car by sunday night. This has been more than it needed to ever be, for a student, with no garage, no tools (divorce), and most of all no real paycheck lol. So far I am into my rebuild 6,000 including tools and buying a shit load of wrong AN fittings for my fuel system. cheers! [/QUOTE]
