one quick sr timing question

[josephg15]

if i want to re do my cas, do i need to put the motor at tdc with the dark links lined up to the dots on the cam sprocket or can i just set it up at tdc in the regular compression stroke??? i heard something like to get it back to the dark links on the sprocket dots you have to turn the motor like 60 something times. thanks ( im doing it right now) so let me know whats up.

all you do is put your motor at tdc with your #1 cylinder cam lobes facing outward, tdc is the second mark from the left on the main pulley. Then you set your cas to the dot on the right i believe, then put it in and youll see it move to the other dot. You need to have your valve cover off for this.
