Lol, yeah, I think I've read every post on timing on vxinfo!
I was posting mor on the confusion of which mark lines up with the oil pump.
Manual says line up the notch on back of crank pulley. Barts how to lined up the "dot" on the front of crank pulley, which is what I did. However, when I did this, #2 was at the bottom of it's stroke, not TDC. And the marks lined up on head covers.
I will have to go by library tomorrow and watch those videos.
And I would NEVER consider you a wiserasshimer!
Yeah, there was some discussion some time ago about my instructions being sort of backwards. Which is very possible I guess, I just think that using my 'technique', you basically just keep everything in line and the timing stays the same. It still confuses me a little how it could work the way I did it if it is wrong.

Bart,
I followed your how-to to the letter and everything worked out for me too so you must have done something right. I do have to say, though, that when I lined everything up and took the timing belt off my cams snapped to 3 and 9, not noon as in your how-to. Doesn't really matter, I guess, as long as you line everything back up the way it's supposed to be.
IndianaVX, good luck with getting it all back together and running. Keep us updated.
