hey guys. Recently my girls 91 spirit r/t gasket took a shit. Got the head off, marked the belt/head cam with permmy marker on the sides. The head was nasty, plus one of the valves in cylinder 2 was chiped away, so we were worried about the head could have been cracked. So we took it in to get pressure checked and have the valve replaced.
They cleaned up the head, milled the mating surface and replaced the valve. Looks great. Just they took off the cam gear markings. Soooo.....

Now I need to find TDC, and a general idea as to how to get the crank to TDC and how to tell if the cams are at TDC.

Any assist would be appreciated.

dont know about cams for a tIII but to get it at tdc, hand turn the motor until the line on the flywheel is at 0 degree mark (in the timing window), be make sure it is at tdc though, because there are two marks on the flywheel

TDC = #1 cylinder at the top of its stroke with both valves closed.
