argh

I was working on fixing my valve clearances. Couldn't get my intake cam sprocket on so I turned the the engine a little bit backward (counter-clockwise). I think I screwed something up royally cause I couldn't get them on.

So i took both the camshafts off again- and now I can't turn the engine forward at all! Rather than force the pulse generator and break a rod or chain or something, I figured I would post here.

What have I done and what can I do to get back on track?

For the record, I retracted the cam chain tensioner, and removed the spark plugs.

 

Only thing I can think of is the cam-chain might be bunched up in the bottom end of the cases on the crank. Try tugging it up to get the slack out and see if that let's it turn freely. Then, rotate the engine thru to get your timing marks lined back up.

Hope that does the trick, Ern
