Gab +1, only need to worry about TDC if you are reinstalling the head with camshaft and rocker assembly as a whole. savage78 wrote: all so do torque the head bolts to ef or au or eb ???? From what I remember, I believe you have to torque the bolts to AU spec since you are using the AU head gasket. Not 100% sure though so you might want to wait till someone agrees or corrects me.

Not sure why that's a hard to think of?? It's kind of the next logical step. |

If you did then the sprocket only goes on one way and the timing should be retained. If you didn't and you've rotated the crank you going to need to remove the timing case and check the timing marks on the crankshaft and aux shaft sprockets line up with each other. This pic should help

Or He could remove the dizzy cap and rotate the crank untill the rotor is pointing at number one lead and the mark on the balancer shows TDC |

But yes worth checking there before removing the timing case

But yes worth checking there before removing the timing case If the chain has moved on the sprockets the rotor position and balancer mark won't line up at the same time. It's also possible to jiggle the chain to fix it if need be. It's worth try for 30mins before going through timing cover option. |
