uh oh... need help..

was trying to tighten down the RH camshaft. This is the unloaded camshaft, i noted it had some forward backwards play in it.

Well when i went to torque it down, it skipped.. a few times.

The crank did not turn with it as it was being held down with a pry bar in the fly wheel.. what's happened now..?

is it the 2.5 l 4 cam motor? well any ways just spin in back and line up the timing marks and u should be good .

was the crank at the alignment mark? i wouldnt worry about it since subarus dont align at #1 @ TDC on the alignment marks pistons sit about at half stroke

it's an EJ22 but a 97, so its an interference motor.

The crank rotated a bit with the cam the prybar in the drive plate locked it up, but yes more or less it was at the alignment mark but off by a few degrees.

I guess if its mid stroke, i should be okay.
