I just finished the rebuild on my 85 13B and am almost ready to put it back in the car. Does anyone knows how to set the engine on TDC (or it's equivalent) so I can then re-install the timing pulley inline with the timing indicator on the engine ? My Hanes manual doesn't seem to cover this.
Thanks

 

Look into the #2 leading plug hole and rotate the engine untill you see the apex seal. Mark the E-shaft. Rotate the engine further untill you see the seal in the #2 trailing hole and mark the shaft. TDC will be halfway between the marks.

the key in the front should be @ 9 oclock i think. also if you pull the clutch plate off the pass. side of the motor you will see a line on the flywheel line it up with the line on the inside of the rear plate thats TDC, ill try to get a pic up to show you
