I got a 1.5L SOHC and i was wondering if you have to adjust your cams to a certain degree or if they just drop right in, i checked the chilton books but they all just tell you how to take it out and put it back in, nothing about adjusting them.
the reason i'm asking is because i need to take the top end apart and i'm gonna change my timing best and have to tighten my valve lifters because of a knocking sound im getting.

I don't think there is an adjustment involved. You need to line it all up. Their are marks on the gears (crank & cam) & on the block. Make sure you are at top dead center on number one piston and your marks line up & you should be fine.

Good luck on the timing belt It is the biggest B**th job on the engine. Crankshaft bolt gives everyone problems
