       Thats right I'm an IDIOT and apparently don't know what I'm doing.  I 
found TDC by looking at marks on flywheel and tranny and lined up all marks 
on the cams.  When I tightened the tensioner the cam moved maybe 1/8" .  I 
find it hard to believe thats what did it.
       Anyway I guess its time to get the head rebuilt.  Does anyone know of 
a reputable shop or someone who can do the job in the CT area.  Also 
wondering about the advantages (if any) to buying a head from a tuner like 
Autotech.  I know they have a big valve head for the 16v.
       I had never done any engine internal work before.  Thi is an expensive 
lesson but I guess this is how you learn.

send any and as much input as possible
