Apparently I didn't know enough, though.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />"have the car at TDC on #1" ... oh man! I didn't think that was necessary. I had pulled all the cam followers and then just put the timing chains on lining-up the timing marks on the cam gears and crank gear with the marks on the chains. I followed the procedure described <a href="http://www.modularheadshop.com/caminstallation.aspx" target="_blank">here</a> at Modular Head Shop, except I didn't bother with setting the crank keyway at "90Â° to the passenger side". That was because I had the followers removed; that was my logic anyways.So at this point I'd like to find a definitive procedure for timing this engine. Hopefully one that describes the process with the followers removed.</blockquote>
