Hey, i have just tried to do my timing belt and had a problem.

I followed the instructions word by word, however when i got to the stage of taking it off. The two cams on the right spun as i pulled the belt away.

I have just looked at the cams on my other stuffed motor and when the notches are positioned correctly, all the valves on the right were not closed, whereas they're closed on the left side of the motor. I suggest this as the reason it spun on the right.

They spun quite fast about 180 degrees both of them. I didnt hear any metal on metal action, but i fear the worst.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

Should i just try turn them back the way they came?

Thanks,

Coci
