I will see the extend of the damage once I pull the engine our and apart, you're not the only person who didn't replace the rings. How did you instal the wrist pins for cylinder 4,5, and 6?

Watch all of the glenn986 videos. They are quite good and will answer your questions.

Turning the engine to Zero will take most of the spring tension off the cams. The valve cover acts as the bearing caps for 2/3 of the camshafts. Once removed the cams can be damaged if too much spring tension is left on them.

Thx for the explanation. Now, in my case, because the engine cannot rotate, is there another way???

Try to take the chain tensioner springs out of the block. Remove the chain sprockets screws on the cams to Let the cams settle on their own and remove the valve covers.
