ok, thanks
sorry to keep showering you with questions, but when you replaced the sprocket, there had to be slack in the chain. how did you prevent the valvesprings from pushing on the valves and potentially making valve to piston contact?

I seriously don't think it is a large issue, I remember after having the timing cover off, taking out the bolt to the cam, removing the chains from the gear, removing and replacing the gear, retiming the engine and putting the front cover and everything that is connected to it on and firing it up

piston/valve contact? are you going to turn the engine with the chain off? the valve springs CLOSE the valves... so all of that pressure that makes the camshaft jump (if it does) closes the valves to a normalized position... if you line the timing marks up (lines on the intake sprockets to the little nipples on the top of the rear cover above the sprockets) then it wont jump on you. B2 will be normalized, B1 will be in a high spot and can stay there if you don't mess with it, if it moves just use 24mm wrench on the camshaft and line it back up when your ready to assemble

i took off the old vtc sprocket off my old motor today, i will probably make sure all of the timing marks are lined up before i put slack in the chain to swap the sprockets.
