Valves might have been tagged already. Did you do a compression test? Maybe better to replace the engine. Do a compression test and if any of the readings are low, maybe better to cut your losses and part it out.
Only kind of a good deal for a car like that is if he gave you the car for free.

I did a compression test and cyl #4 was low but the cam position is so far off that it would hard to say whether it is the valve or the cam position. I found another motor with 150k for $600 but what's to say the guides are good on that motor. I have the parts for the repair I think I'll take a gamble and hope for the best.

If you know the cam timing is out, don't turn the motor over.
About time those heads came off for a proper inspection. Anything less than that is a shortcut.

I called "GAS" and they put me on a waiting list. Could be two to four weeks maybe longer. I'm thinking I'll buy one and try to sell it later. The SnapOn guy comes by the shop every week maybe he could sell it for me. Do you know anywhere else that rents them?
