LOL, always something.
Next time your timing is a tooth or so off, and you have NOT released the tensioner pin, you can turn the cams with the belt on. There is enough slack in the belt loop for the cam sprockets to turn back or forth, jump the belt to get dead on.
When doing heads, there is no reason to pull the cam sprockets. If you do pull the cam sprockets, check the back of the cams before securing the sprockets with the cover installed.
