Bring cylinder 1 up to tdc, use finger in plug hole for compression an dpointer on harmonic balancer when you get to it. Then point dist rotor to number 1 andinstall so it's pointing number1 then time engine after assembled. See pic.

We dont' have pics of that in our manual so when you bring it up to Number 1 it should be the one coming up to the timng mark on cover. Also lyou need a jumper wire to set the timing I forgot that here is pic
