How much research did you do before tearing the car apart in the first place? The big thing with these cars is doing tons of research before you work on it, or else shit like this happens. Same thing happened with my timing belt. I fucked up and didnt ask anyone if the 6 bolt block and 7 bolt block had different ways of tensioning the belt. Well they do, the 6 bolt is bass ackwards (or the 7 bolt is) but the point is, i assumed it was the same, now i have 4 bent valves and a new head on the way. You cant assume anything with these cars.
Best of luck dude, but as long as you learn from your mistakes you will make it. just stick it out.
