Charlie,

I'm just trying to take Frank through it one step at a time. Trying to turn the timing gear as he indicated he attempted is completely non-productive, i.e. a waste of time. Of course he will eventually have to align the marks on the two gears and yes, they probably are out of alignment already. Further, you're right, bending a valve is not a risk. But this project needs to focus on the essential steps to completion without further detours.
