Timing belt brain fart

Anyway, I think he should just finish putting it back together properly (he appears to me to be close), try turning it over with the plugs out (although there will be a fair amount of resistance just from the valve springs). Heck, he might as well just try to start it. He can't do any more damage if he has the belt on right this time. If it doesn't run properly, then a leakdown will tell him which cylinders are damaged.

You see, 76 and Stan, working together, are providing an intersting and viable way to assess the car before disassembly.
Hugh has proposed skipping to partial disassembly ( very difficult without pulling motor on 86, and essentially insufficient when it comes to matching valves to heads --- motor would need to come out / can't get heads out on these / pulling cams won't help much).
Oh, and a compression test that would just finish it off.
Eventually it might need to be pulled and fixed. Even that is fairly straightforward.
But give these engineering guys with experience a chance to help. Neither Stan nor 76 has missed yet.

Well, I may have been a Mitsubishi guy in the past, but I have experience with bent valves and its very easy to bend a valve (as u probably know).
Will be interesting to see the outcome of this problem. Any updates OP?

Ok I just got back to this and here a a couple of pictures. As I was taking them I notice another misstake I made
( I really need to slow down)
I put the balancer on backwards and the nubers are upside down.
I am going to correct that and then see what is what ( I'm screwed )
Ok there is some problem with the site have a link broken so I will try to post the pictures later.

Ok Dave K came over and help me all day getiing everthing lined up and we did a compression test.
The motor is tost.
Passeger side tested from 162 to 115 and the driver side tested 0 all the way across.
Everything lines up where it should be.
So a engine pull is in my future.
Thanks to everyone for your help on this.
Thanks Dave for helping me all day!
