Timing belt help
After removing the belt on my 2008 V8, the LH cam jumped about 40 degrees. Not sure which way it jumped, clockwise or counterclockwise. I was able to turn the left cam back to the mark but it wasn’t easy. It seems like this engine is hard to turn with a ratchet anyway. I’m 66 years old and it was tough to turn to TDC. Was it ok to turn the LH cam counterclockwise back to the mark? After I installed the WP, timing belt, etc I rotated to TDC and the cams both line up with the original marks now, not the T marks. The belt is in the correct position on the crank sprocket. Any harm turning the LH cam back to the mark? Just want to be sure before I start it up.
