    Thank you so much Jason, now I feel very confident I can get the job done...Beer & BBQ on me next time you good folks are passing through Austin, TX...I really appreciate it.
    This Poor VX has gone through some very bad luck lately! About two months ago I was driving home when a deer just beamed down to the only spot where I would have no other option but to hit him. The darn thing hit back and caused more damage to the front of the VX than the insurance company cared to pay for. I ended up buying a VX with a blown engine jus so I could use the few pieces I needed to get her back on the road again. I got her back from the body shop two weekends ago. I was hoping I would have her running again by this past weekend, until I ran into the timing issue.
    If all goes will, she should be back on the road by the end of this weekend. I will resume putting her back together this weekend and I will report back with a final update

    I just can't say thank you enough for all the tips I received from all of you.

    I'll certainly take you up on BBQ and a beer! Same goes if your in the denver area! Making pals! Thats what the forum is for! Sorry to hear about the dear incident. I have had SEVERAL close calls on the roads of CO & KS! unfortunately every time ive been hunting not a deer, elk or pronghorn in sight!
    So I thought I had better pictures where the camshafts spring to. Enjoy these pics. Looks like the timing mark on both pulleys point straight up when the belt is off... Hope this helps somewhat:
