Crank no start, another issue (SOLVED)

Actually that would be right but….only if the camshafts were removed. You try and turn the camshafts 180 degrees with them installed and you’re gonna bend some valves

Of course turning the cam 180* with the crank at TDC, regardless compression or exhaust stroke, will cause bent valves.
My point is that if the cams already relatively in time with crank before, then adjusting the vanos timing or checking timing can be done with the crank turned to TDC compression or exhaust is ok.

Ah well…yes you’re right with that
