QUESTION: Is there any way you can help other that sending me to a pay site?? I need to know how to aligh the camshafts, then install the pulleys properly.

Answer
   David, no. Without an explicit diagram, there is no way to do it. It's not rocket science, but it is complicated as to the procedure. Remember, you do it wrong and you bend the valves. Sorry you object to paying for sound/quality information. That subscription gets you accesss to all your vehicle's systems. Electrical schematics, sensor specs. R&R procedures,timing setups etc. for one year. NO ONE can remember all the different variables. That's why we use reference manuals. All shops do. I would think a do it yourselfer like you would find great current and future value in this product?
  Remember, free information is worth exactly what you paid for it.
