    I don't see why not just make sure the belt is out of the way and there's nothing around that can fall in the intake ports or spark plug holes.
    Since you have it apart that far I'd just pull the EFI MAIN Relay so the PCM won't be trying to do things.

    I did the compression test. looks like the drives side is lower.

    Hopefully it is just that timing is off on the driver side.

    could that be a reason that the pressure is lower?

    Most likely a tooth off. Since you said that you rotated the engine by hand, and everything went smoothly. Either intake or exhaust.

    okay I'm going to put the oem style pulley on, because it has a mark from the factory. MY nts pulley was marked by me and is probably not accurate. I want to pull the timing chain front cover off but I know its a lot of work and I never done that before

    Hard to tell, but maybe a tooth off on the intake cam?

    I had to use a mallet to get the sprocket off. The key pin is pushed all the way in. Now I got to replace both parts

    You cannot tap that pin back to position? Out of the cam gear?

    Regardless, I am glad that you found the issue. :thumbsup:
