kaich 6 1 Cars Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) That's the problem I have a spare xu9j4 that I'm dismantling. I had removed timing belt without set the timing pin holes so if I try to rotate the crankshaft, I risk to bend valve or whatelse? At now can I remove the head or I must to set the engine with the timing pin holes (like Haynes says) before remove the head?
