If i'm going to remove the vacuum pump do you have to set the crank to a specific position to remove it? I read somewhere there's a the vacuum uses roller cam that compresses a spring, and if its not set properly it can damage the housing.
Ok so i turned my engine a few rotations and both camshaft and crank are now aligned at TDC so its both timed correctly.
Thank you i really appreciate your time and advice.

You are correct about the timing being off with the IP locking tool. It was late when I wrote that. Removing the vacuum pump is what I've done when replacing the head. That way there is no pressure from the vacuum pump to possibly have the chain move.
