OK. First I'd like put a damper on the tech battle brewing. I respect everyone's opinion, but I know that Jeff has done a LOT of work on P cars. I trust his judgement. As I understand it, the only time you don't need to use the cam lock is if you're not removing the tensioner for that bank. Even at tdc, there may some tension in the valve train. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
More importantly; I found the spreadsheet where I saved the cam deviation values. It was .3(8) not 3 deg of deviation on bank 1. I was able to get the cam lock on, but the front crank lock wouldn't wiggle into place. I ended up locking the crank from the rear. Everything came apart and went back together easily from there (with the exception of the transmission not wanting to go in...that's another story). I fired it up for the first time this afternoon. Everything seems to be running perfectly. I rechecked the cam deviation again. Bank 1: .38 (again) bank 2: .22.
I'm going to call it a success for now.
Thank all.
Tony
