I took the cam lock bar off to replace the cam seals and the passenger side cam turned (violently) a
little less than a quarter turn. It seems to me that the violent tuning was the cam lobes closing a valve(s)which would not be bad.
Does anyone know if a valve could have been bent from a 3/16 turn of the cam with the crank locked at top dead center?

same thing happened to me but I'm paranoid. Think it was middle cylinder exhausts . . I'll go check
yep. Did a compression test and my paranoid brain told me exhaust valves bent.

Anything you could find would be great. I would much rather replace a bent valve while my
engine is out instead of finding out after it's all back together. Hopefully it's nothing.
