Don't forget to align the hole in the aux. crank pulley in the 1:00 pm position.

Take out the plugs and turn over the engine by hand first to complete a full cycle (2 rotations).
The easiest method for this is if you have a 38mm or (i think 1.5" socket) on the crank pulley if room permits.

My 2c worth, if it is timed incorrectly and a valve hits a piston, it will cost a lot more to fix.
