    What information do you need? at TDC for which cylinder? cylinder 1? if so then rotate the cams using the timing gears bolt until the valves closest to the cam gear are all closed.

    At tdc, exhaust valves on 2 and intake valves in 3 are slightly open, is this correct? (it may be the other way around)

    Maybe very slightly. When I had my head built and put out back on at TDC obviously, all the valves look seated to me

    I have pictures of my head at TDC I'll post later

    Here are my pics. Sorry about the shallow DOF, this was almost 2 years ago.. I should have taken better pics.. On the other hand, those are super sexy Ferrea 1mm OS valves with full ferrea valvetrain components to back them up... Moving on...
