    Update...NOT looking good...I tried to start it, but she wouldn't go, the engine just kept on turning (not making the usual sound you usually hear when you are cranking the engine). Now, the VX has not been started in 2.5 months, so I don't know if this has something to do with it, or if I'm just doomed and have to redo everything allover again for the third time!!!

    Two additional notes:
    1- When I first cranked it, I saw smoke (more like fume, not smoke from something burning) coming from around the Air cleaner area
    2- The battery got drained to 60% after trying to crank the engine four times

    Now I have a horrible feeling that the timing might be 180 degrees off, and I hope I did not blow up the engine! I probably should've taken the valve cover off to make sure the marks on the gears lined up...too late!! I am so frustrated I could cry, then again, who am I kidding...I already did!

    I still don't see where to load the pics, I don't see anything under my profile to suggest I could load anything! I've never loaded any pictures since I joined the forum. Once I am able to load the pictures you will see that the belt was lined up with all the timing marks. The notch on the crankshaft sprocket was at 9 O'clock...It was not in line with the green dot on the engine!
