    question about timing

    ive searched and read and reread the timing threads and ones relating to it..my situation is slightly different. i have a new cb7 with a blown block to remove..i will be insralling the f22a1 out of my auto 92 coupe. i will be keeping the new cb's tranny and flywheel, tubular header, everything else intact. now i used the camshaft from this A1 on another engine as an replacement, didnt bother putting the rocker arm assembly back on either. i have always periodically rotated the engine to make sure it doesnt seize, even tho it has no reason to..just in case..so now i am reaasembling this originally automatic A1 which never saw more than 4000rpm due to transmission problems..i had a crank pulley break on me once and did that with complete head gasket set replacement..along with standard tune up replacements. so the engine itself is healthy, although i will do a compression test first. the head hasnt been taken off the block, i dont intend to. but installing a cam in a head installed on a block means valves will be opened, which has me wondering how exactly do i go about setting the bottom end as far as timing, when i do reinstall the camshaft? i already removed the auto flywheel, but i marked how it was bolted on, so if i need to put it back on its no problem, if markings on it are needed. so can i get some closure?

    Whenever doing any type of working involving the engine timing the best thing to do is always set the number one cylinder to TDC.

      reason im askin is i havent noticed any markings on my crank pulley (lol crack pulley wouldve been funny too)...i could use the red/white markings on the flywheel on the other side too i guess..just confused as to telling the compression and exhaust tdc's apart.

        The key slot marks TDC, use a Sharpie to mark the face of the Crankshaft Pulley if it's not marked already; some have some dots or notches, some don't.

          thanks a million..key slot as what aligns the pulley and allows it to slide on one way only right?

            There should be a TDC marker on the cam gear as well.
