question about cam
ok, i just got some head work done, and i am putting it back into my car...i put my valves back in, along with the lost motion assembly. The timing belt is still off though. Should i be able to turn my cam with my hand?

if its a stock cam it should be a little tough, but it should turn.

Re: (blackeg)
it is the stock cam...the motion assembly bolts are torqued to 16lbs and everything appears to be aligned correctly. It is DAMN hard to turn it with my hand.

It should be alittle bit hard to turn.. make sure when you installed the cam you put in on TDC with the crank. You can try to get the special tool to turn the cam or just get a socket to fit the bolt.
