I have replaced the head gasket and now need to re-install the cams. My exhaust cam has a variable timing sprocket that need to be set. How do I do this and what is the torque for the sprocket bolt?

Your best bet will be to go here

https://www.2carpros.com/manuals.php

Go to "engines" then timing belt and follow the step by step instructions. Easier for you to read and see the pics than for me to try to walk you through it, dont want to mess anything up at this point in the project

There is a link, but it doesnt answer any part of my question. It only refers me to another page that wants me to by a subscription. I feel your answer is a complete failure and an attempt to get more money out of me by referring me to a page to subscribe to your online manual. Please prove me wrong by actually providing me some info on the issue!
