I'm building a standard D16A6 block/D16Y8 head hybrid.


How do I line up the head for TDC on #1? I know I'm in the range b/c all the valves on #1 are loose, but not sure what the reference points would be to get it exact.

Are the two notches on the cam gear supposed to line up with line formed by the bottom of the head/top of the block, or the two triangular arrows that are molded into the two sides of the plastic face that bolts to the front of the block with a 10mm-headed bolt?

Again this is a '96-up EX head on a '88-91 Si/CRX Si block.
