Ok, I've got to get this car put back together today, so I need to know how to get everything lined up properly. If I turn it over so the crank is at TDC, and take out the tensioner, then all I need to do is get the cam at TDC right? And from what I've been reading, the IP timing can't really get "off", unless it skipped a tooth on the sprocket, but it doesn't seem like that's a possibility. SO, I guess all I need to figure out is how to get the cam back on TDC the proper way. Can anyone guide me through this? Also, I turned the engine over 2 more times to make sure that it really is off as much as it was last night, and it still is. With the stamped line on the cam gear matched up to the line stamped on the tower, it is at about 40 which is before TDC.
