    I'd stick a cheap endoscope down the spark plug hole, but in the end you'll probably have to pull the head.

    Well,I guess I'm done for today. Until i make some$$ for an endoscope,upper and lower plenum gasket,throttle and head gasket.And hex for the head bolts. Im gonna look for timing belt removal and installation witch is my biggest fear. Cuz i don't get it even for a SOHC engine. I love this car but damn every single mot*** fu***r who engineered the engine bay.😡😭.Makes me wanna sometimes send the car down a cliff.

    I think you can borrow one from auto zone.

    If it was me, id just go ahead and rip the head off. Timing is no big deal.

    You can also buy a USB endoscope from amazon for ~$30 if you want. You may also be able to buy an extendable magnet and at least see if you can retrieve a washer (or the remains of it) from cylinder 6.

    Sup, I already have the hex 10mm socket. Would be possibe to put zip tie on the cam gears and timing belt and the unbolt the timing gears to remove the head? Or does that doesn't make amy sense.

    If you're pulling the head, you may as well redo the timing from scratch and not worry about the belt/gears until you put it back together.

    Is the timing easy? I don't need any special tool?.I have the manual and a couple of YT videos but most of then is with the engine out out the car.I can't and won't even try to remove the engine.

    That method only works with if you have a solid tensioner or some method of controlling the tensioner from extending. As you have to pull the lower cover on these cars to pin the tensioner, it's easier just to do it right...

    Don't worry about the timing yet, worry about what you'll find in #6 cylinder.

    If you manage to fix it, get a belt and a tensioner. Im sure somebody will loan you the little tensioner tool.
