Just did the timing belt on the '2. Took some extra time to take some pics that might answer how far off the cam can be before contact.
The first two are with the crank at TDC. Moved the cam forward and backward until contact.
Then with the cam locked I moved the crank forward and back.
In the first two one or the other valve is hitting the #4 piston depending on direction of rotation of the cam.
Having trouble visualizing what's happening in the last two. Both #1 valves are closed and the piston is moving down, #4 is moving down, #2 and #3 are moving up but seems like they would be pretty low in their bores to be hitting anything.
