My 1987 Turbo T wouldn't start and then turned over faster. After some advice from the some knowledgeable Turbo Buick members, and some teardown, we discovered that the cam gear had many stripped nylon teeth. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what other damage may have happened by turning over my engine prior to the removal of the timing cover/oil pump? Is there any chance that the valves may have contacted the pistons? Do these 3.8 Turbo engines have zero clearance heads? I have purchased all of the parts to do the repair, but have these concerns. Thanks.
