I f'ed up big time.....Need opinions
Ok so i was putting together an LS tonight, totally stock motor.... I Was taking out the headbolts one by one and replacing with ARP's. That went over smooth and then I took off the cam gears. Well I was drinking and talking with friends and one of the cam gear keys/keepers fell into the bottom of the timing cover! So I was trying to get the crank pully off and long story short the bottom end turned and the cams didn't. So basically I'm wondering if the bottom end turned almost a full revolution with the cams at TDC, do you guys think it would bend the valves? I'm hoping not, only because the low compression of the LS motor, I thought There may be enough clearance for it to happen? I just want opionions.... TIA!

The build should be lots of fun, I picked up a 93 LS tranny with a quaife LSD for $650 today, 0 miles since rebuild, I think thats a steal since the LSD is a grand alone lol
