Thank you for your reply Cstoops72, I appreciate your reply and all the other tips I've already received. To answer your question, yes I have setup timing before, and I usually do most of the needed mechanical work on my vehicles (I have 6 of them), I am not a mechanic, but I am not new to working on cars either. The problem I'm having is that I've already used TDC & BDC but my engine is still not timed! I've read all the info and followed the instructions, but I still have no luck.
Remember, my engine lost timing, so the process is different than what Bart outlined in his great document.
I'll keep working with it, until I figure it out
I really appreciate all the tips from everyone especially Jason and Lfen...I'll report any new changes as soon as they happen
Thank you all
