Prolly a dumb question...but I recently took the cam plates off of the cam towers to figure out what cams the head had in it. Anyway, I read in one thread something about setting the tension on the timing belt again and setting the valve lash after torquing down the cam plates. Do I in fact need to do this, I don't remember reading it in the repair manual. Oh, GSR head. Thanks guys.

 

It never hurts by checking the valve lash. Most people don't adjust it as often as it should be done.

It has nothing to do with timing belt tension though. The timing belt tension will remain the same.

Cool man, thanks. I guess I never noticed it before, but I can now slide the friggin timing belt off with just my fingers

 

Setting the timing belt tension takes two minutes.

Always set the valve lash after removing/replacing the cam caps. I check my valve lash several times/year (takes 5-10 minutes) and adjust it as necessary.
