Hi,
The timing belt on my ALH stripped, and I am in the process of removing the head in order to replace it. I suspect things got out of time and I have valve damage.
I've read the procedures here and in the Bentley manual, and they both say to put the engine at TDC. I completely understand for an intact engine. But, if things are out of time already, is this necessary to do before reinstallation? Am I risking more damage by barring an out of time engine over? Any advice is appreciated.
