				Ran into problems replacing camshafts after pad replacement
			 
 
			Hi folks,
 I have the engine out in my 2001 3.2S.  Have replaced the cam pads on both sides.  I started with bank 1 at TDC and removed the cam assembly, replaced pads and retime with a new chain and ensure the links lined up to the marks. Replaced the valve cover and checked rotation.   Rotated the engine 720 degrees and looked fine.   Next I moved on to bank 2 and removed the cam assembly.  Realizing I didnt rotate the engine another 360, I went back to set bank 1, with bank 2 already out.  Checked the alignment and all looked good.  And held the cams down.  Now when I try to rotate 720 degrees clockwise, at about 540, I feel resistance and no longer can turn the crank, spark plugs are all out.  Bank 2 is out som must be something with my timing in bank 1.  Am I hitting the valve and piston from the resistance I feel?  Cyl 1 looks like the exhaust valve is open, cyl3 has the intake valve open.  Cyl 2 is neutral.
 
 What do I do now?  Should I release the exhaust sprocket bolts, with he cam held down, allow the cam assembly to rotate back to a neutral position( no valves opened), set the engine back to TDC and retime bank 1 cams again?
 
 Any advice appreciated.  Better finding out if I did something wrong now with engine Out vs in the car and having a blow up on start.
