When the cams 'snap' out of position like that, they just settle into a natural position where there is no force on the valves/lifters. So even if the cylinder might interfere, the valves will always close when the cam releases tension... Get me? The thing you need to watch is that when you initially set them on the belt marks, is cylinder 1 being tdc with the crank sprocket aligned. Then you just turn the cams (by hand if you a man), they will tension the valve springs obviously, and then slide the belt on the correct marks. Basically, no matter what, you are safe when the sprocket is aligned and cyl 1 is in the right position.

amount of them in the 'random fasteners' bag. I am beginning to
think my Z is being held together by zap straps" |
