How do i take the cam gears off and do they go on one way? I replaced the head gasket and the timing belt guard bent and is stuck on one of the idler pully. I dont want to take the head off again.

You'll need to put a wrench on the camshaft (on the hexagonal part, under the valvecover), I usually use a large adjustable one. The cam gear is held on by a 14mm bolt, it'll break loose once you stabilize the camshaft.

There are alignment pins on cams that slot into the gears, use the I slot for the intake and the E slot for the exhuast

We're here to help man

whats the easiest way to get the crank pully off and do this timing belt? I need to get this car on the road and am lacking the funds to have someone do it for me

[Rocketman]

Easiest way I've found is to remove the fuel injector harness so the engine has no chance to start; and then put a socket or tire iron on the crank and jam it against the axle or something solid on the car.

Play with the key to smack the starter a few times, usually it'll break free right away, don't overdo it.
