Quick question to put my mind at ease.

Engine waz timed up before removing the head. Ive gone to put the head back on. Head is timed up but exhaust on 3 and intake on 4, valves are open. I dont remember this being the case when I took it off.

To make it worse, Im leaving home tonight to fly to Barcelona for 6 weeks so id like to get this done

And just to confirm because I wanted to double check, the pin for the intake cam is in the IN posittion and Exhaust cam is in the EX position.

There will be some valves open. Make sure the crankshaft as 90° round from TDC, and is on it's mark. The cam pulleys need to be aligned with there marks to, then it should be timed up just fine.;

That's correct.
