you state you have a 4 cylinder?,cuz 4 cylinders have a belt and not a chain.who installed the belt for you?special cam and crank alignment tools are required to do the job right.if it has a chain, then you would have a v6 engine, and i believe that is an "interference" engine, unlike the 4 cylinder,in which case valves have personally met the pistons.
