today I removed the camshaft and left reference markings to the chain after setting the #1 to TDC. Thats FSM and the best I can do. As long as I dont move the pistons from here on and the IP doesn't move, I should be able to do a straight swap.... right? If not, I'll learn how to time the IP.
I have read about the drip method - it seems very faulty - any suggestions on preferred methods?

i had to time my engine by the "welling" method awhiel ago when i lost my timing. i took each of the lines off going to each cyliner and cleaned out the ports on the injectionpump the best i could with compressed air. then i took some dry paper towel and put it in a cone shape down into the hole. i then turned the chain over until i saw fuel welling up in that hole. That means that was firing at TDC on cylinder number 1 and i put everything back together
