Some reassurance before I turn the key

[Barlow]

I'm going to start it tomorrow, been doing the EGR as well and need to pick up a gasket in the morning so will try it after

You guys are making me nervous lol

You should turn the key now, if you break the engine you'll save time and money by not having to mess with the EGR valve! See, every cloud does have a silver lining!

Mate - if your timing marks line up after two turns - and your tensioner is set correct - you will be fine..

Good luck it's horrible turning the key after a DIY timing belt. Good feeling when it starts though. I still worry about mine lol

Yep, all started fine, no rattles, smooth as anything and no leaks from waterpump. Job done! Also dismantled EGR and thoroughly cleaned it along with the boost sensor, runs much better now
