did you put a mark on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft pulley before you took the head off,also did you mark the outside of the distributor cap.nb in theory you should have turned the crankshaft pulley by hand (after removing battery lead neg)until no 1 piston was at tdc top of compression stroke(rotor arm pointing to no1 cyl plug lead.then mark crank pulley (tipex is easy to see)at top and make a similar mark on cam pulley.for added security you could mark just above crank pulley with tipex on casing the like wise on cam cover.with me so far?
