| I put a new timing chain, tensioner and camshaft plate on the engine - I now 
find that it is very hard to turn the engine at least a LOT harder than it was 
before. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
Following instructions in Haynes - I turned the crankshaft so that the keyway 
was facing up and turned the camshaft so that it was in the 2 oclock position, 
lined up the two dots on the sprockets, and put them on. Took a little fiddling 
to get the keyways lined up but it did go on. The two sprockets seem to line up 
correctly - without shims - there were none when I took them off. 
Any advice appreciated.
Rick
