Sorry about that. This is WHAT I FOUND. I haven't done a darn thing yet. I was just perplexed how it appears the cams could be so far out of time. AND, if they are this far out, likely I have smashed some valves. That's all. Thoughts?

I don't know how far off either of the cams can be before there's risk of piston/valve collision.
Add to that the gear that drives the belt may not be sitting properly on the crank.
You won't know without a proper assessment. If you take it to a dealer or indie make it clear that the nut at the crankshaft damper was missing for an unknown amount of time and that the splines which hold the alignment of the timing gear to the crankshaft are in question.

Thanks for asking, mrbrian. I haven't done a thing. This is just what I found so far. And if the cams are that far off, it makes me assume that the valves are likely already bashed. Sad. Thoughts? Thanks.
