This is bad. I have just been trough the challenge of replacing the timing belts on my 1999 2.0 V6 all being very careful with the lock pin being in place all the time, marks here and there, turning it several times by hand after the replacement to ensure everything lines up as before.

Now that I start it up it runs on max 5 cylinders and there is also a ticking noise. Kind of like some valves being stuck open. I had a look into the front three cylinders with a snake cam, and there were no marks or debris.

What have I done wrong? It is ready for the junk yard? I am so tired of it.

Thanks,

Jens.
