i just got my sr20det head in the mail. i got it all cleaned up and ready to go.

i was wondering if i can turn the crank with the head off to align the pin for TDC and to line up the links on the timing chain on the cam sprockets. they were not aligned for some reason aswell.

and do i need to do anything for aligning the cams?

anything else that i need to do before i start trying to remember how to bolt everything back on?

Thanks in advance!

 

i was told i can turn the crank pully to make the chain links visible. (just the it tight to the gear below everything i guesS?)

i was wondering if this was safe...
