the #1 piston at top dead center and crank gear dot at 12 oclock, should the cam be timed with the cam gear on after the exhaust valve is closed or after the intake valve is closed ? If the cam gear is at 6 oclock and the crank gear is at 12 oclock, this means that the #1 piston is at top dead center and the exhaust valve just closed,does that mean the engine is in time and i can put the distributor in with roator pointing at #1 plug on the cap ? When I timed it the first time,I had the cam gear at 12 oclock and the crank at 12 oclock and the roator pointing at #1 plug meaning the intake valve just closed and the piston at top dead center but I cant get it to crank up but just turn over. Which timing is the corect way ?
