Message	I've been having overheating problems. Failed the leakdown and compression tests. Got the motor out of the car. Got plenum off. I have read the engine reassembly tech. Am I right that I'll have to pull all timing components to do the head gasket? Is there a tech or faq that I can use to make sure I don't lose the timing or can appropriately reset it? Thanks. I don't have any issue with doing a teardown. I am mostly concerned about not screwing up the timing.
