Hey jd28, was your exhaust cam oil plug and cam gear bolt really tight, and did it take the funky shaped star thingy? The cam bolt on my exhaust cam was so tight that I couldn't get it, and that was with my dad holding the cam with a huge wrench. But I had also left the alignment tool in, and I chipped a little of my camshaft doh! I gave up about that time, and it all lined up correctly, and works fine, although if I could do it again I'd do it differently.
And did you get a new oil plug thingy?
I know I sound like an idiot, but I was very frusterated, and working alone in a poorly heated poorly lit garage in february, and had to wait a week because the dumb shop gave me the wrong parts, and I didn't find out until I tore my car apart, those were the days
