Some Help Broke Down :(
dazza:
The crank is aligned, whats the best way to turn the camshaft sprocket?
GVK:
If the pistons are at TDC you'll probably find the cam won't turn becaust of valve-piston hitting
Ideally needs the pistons all halfway in their bores to allow the cam to be timed.
I would say you have bent valves anyway so I'd be taking the head off.

Its hard to see how there would be no damage.
What will i need to reinstall to do the compression test?
GVK:
Cam belt refitted (new belt ideally) and tensioned, timed up. Bottom pulley back on so belt doesn't fly off.
As previous post, you'll need the pistons halfway in the bore to allow the top end to be timed up, then time the bottom end up.
