How to find TDC with crank pulley on ...
I've reinstalled my heads and am trying to set the valves. I know you can find TDC but moving the arrow to 12 o'clock and having both the lifters on the first cylinder to be down and go from there. However, my crank pulley is still on and I can't see the arrow on the hub. I'm having trouble adjusting lifters and believe it's because I can't find TDC. Any suggestions ... Thanks.

Ok. Now I'm confused or must have missed it. Honestly, I'm really not this dumb ... The pulley that the belt rides on has the arrow on it? Is it visible from the front and where should I look? Guess I was in the garage too long yesterday and was losing my mind ...

Turn it over by hand and watch #1 intake go down and come almost all the way back up. Look at the arrow and it should be almost 12 o'clock, Turn it to 12 o'clock and # 1 should be at TDC. Or pull the plug use a straw to tell when the piston reaches the top.

Just remember the damper hub is not keyed to the crankshaft, so there's no assurance the arrow has any relationship to TDC, unless you installed it exactly that way, or added a key.

So would it just be best to use the method (found it somewhere on here) where you do a cylinder at a time watching the lifters and not worry about TDC?

when you are check the lifters you are finding TDC, you can use either method to find tdc, or you can pump air in with an adapter to set the valves
