Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Project 14, page 60, Figure 23 (Bottom of page) It says if the cam locking tool doesn't fit, turn the engine 180 degrees and try again. I don't think that's correct, is it? Didn't he mean 360 degrees? The online version on the Pelican site also says the same thing. They're either consistently wrong in both places, or I should erase everything I know and start over Which is it?
Piston travels up and down 2 times (2 crankshaft rotations) for 1 camshaft rotation, that’s why you have to turn crank 360 degrees to turn cam 180 degrees. The slot on cam needs to be in the vertical position to lock, so if the cam is in the horizontal position turning the crank 180 degrees will move the slot on the cam 90 degrees, from horizontal to vertical.
And FYI the author of both sources you mention is same man.

Thanks that's what I'm saying...therefore the 101 projects and online version are wrong! This is HUGE. If someone follows the instructions, or learns the wrong thing from them, they will destroy their engine!

No, it's right. I had to go through this and followed the same instructions. Keep your focus on the cam slots that the tool fits into and don't overthink this.

Ok thanks. Yes I agree it's a matter of focusing on the slots. So I'm not saying all the instructions are wrong. Just the statement about turning the engine 180 degrees, when he meant turn the camshafts 180 degrees. Thanks

Thanks yes I realized that when I went through the details of both, from the verbiage alone...and the publishing consistency in what I'm calling an inadvertent error. The pelican version stays focused on the 5-chain engines, but the book version branches off to cover the 3-chain version as well.
Remember, it’s not important at what point in the combustion cycle the crankshaft and camshaft are at, just that they are locked in place and unable to move.
