i used air compressor...and some whistle thing to get it at tdc...

the passenger side seal near the firewall is tough... one time i replaced all 12... the other time i just did 11....

i think i used a 27 mm socket to turn the engine.... it's been about 5 or 6 years since i did it...


others have used the rope method with no issues...
