Since there are no timing marks on the balencer I figured I could use the valves to find TDC. I have a stop in #1. #1 Both valves are closed. #8 both valves are closed. #4 exhaust is closed,intake is about 1/2 open. I am thinking that should be TDC on #1. Fireing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 Can any of the chevy experts out there tell me if I am right or wrong or if there is a better way to do it.
Thanks, Jerry |

I would mark the flywheel with the timing cover off, when both valves are closed on number 1 in the compression stroke and the marks line up on the timing gears, you mark the flywheel so it can be seen on top of the transmission hole. That is just how I do it. Others may have a different way?

The engine is in the car so the gears are no help now. I will put a timing mark on when I am sure it is at TDC
Thanks, Jerry |
