Re: How can I turn the crank and cam so the timing marks line up right?
Sure took me a while to get here. Apparently "I'm not in a hurry" anyway, powder coat and paint are backed up. I see most people use lock-tite if anything at all for the cam sprocket bolts, and torque to 20 ft. lbs.
ARP suggests their high pressure lube instead of lock-tite, and torque to 25 ft. lbs., and it was suggested elsewhere I use a lock plate too.........So that's what I did. After the chain was installed I spun the crank a turn and set ignition timing as suggested (shown).
On a side, I saw elsewhere someone suggested to find TDC with a dial before installing the gears. Not sure why that is. Seems to me if you do per post #13 for example, which I did, once done you're at TDC.
