and that can make the crank notches not be accurate?

That would confuse me though, how would it change like that since there is a thick key on the crank shaft itself and a slot on the crank pulley?

OOHHHH yea I will double check that way tomorrow, so if it's right then the piston should be at the top of the stroke at 0 on the crank right? What should I do if the crank is not at 0 when it's at the top of the stroke?

So I put a chopstick in the hole at the end of the crank pulley or where the crank pulley bolt goes? I am not exactly sure where you want me to put the chopstick.

Oh, well the notch on the pulley was lined up exactly with the 0 notch.

I looked at the timing belt section in the TSRM and I do not see anything about a damper unless I missed it but what exactly are you talking about? I just realized I did not rotate it from TDC to TDC twice I only did it once, maybe that is why? Yea I put the timing belt on at the crank first...

I tried using different sockets and my deep well impact socket got the bolt loose I rarely used those sockets so they are still sharp, I guess it was a poor quality socket after all, I took the belt off and set the cams to TDC then put it back on then rotated the crank until the cams were back...

it was the same socket that I was using I think I made it too tight. Tonight I will try to sharpen the edges of the bolt, relieve some pressure from it, and loosen it. Then get a new bolt from the dealer.

I love this guy ^^ lol

At this point I do not want to hear that lol, I will figure out a way to sharpen the edges of the bolt tomorrow and loosen it carefully then torque it lower.

I am just worried about the cam gears not lining up with the notches on the timing cover they are slightly off to the left after I rotated the motor and I can't fix it because the tensioner bolt started stripping for some reason.

Yea they go through the intake manifold as I suspected and the one toward the front of the car connects to the idle control valve and the one toward the fire wall connects to the throttle body. I must have shoved them down under the intake when I was removing everything, I appreciate you going...

1 lines goes to the Idle Control valve and 1 to the throttle body, glad I found the page in the TSRM. Here is where I left off, I am so close I can hear that blow off valve fluttering again.

I can't seem to figure out where these two hoses go, they are underneath the intake manifold. If anyone can give me sort of real time help through AIM or facebook I would greatly appreciate it. EDIT: They are throttle body coolant lines

Thank you kindly, I must say I am proud of myself I am very close to getting this car done I am almost at the point where I just have to wait to get the spark plugs, wires, thermostat, and that small 90 degree coolant hose by the exhaust manifold before I can get back to work lol. I went from...

Here is how the car sits

ahahahha that is awesome

Oh I will get a video for sure. After I am done I am going to roll the car out of the garage, flush it once with oil, then put in good oil with a decent filter, start it up and record it, drive around for awhile, then change the oil to like Rotella or Mobil1 but I hear Rotella is really good and...

I am the exact same way, the few times I drove the MK3 to school before I tore it down the last two times I drove it I had a shitty day at school but when I was walking up to the car, the sun shining on the hood and the pearl white glistening just made my anger melt away then driving it made me...
