puting head back on.. sr20det.. HELP

i'm not sure what the person was thinking when they took the head off my SR block BUUTTT....

the crank pully was not set up to TDC ... the #1 piston is near the top, but the lines on the crank pully do NOT line up like the fsm. the lines are almost completly pointing left.

AND... the markes on the timing chain links were not lined up so i have no marking on where to put the chain back on the cam gears.

what should i do :-/ i just want to put my head on and try out the SR

... if only it was that easy...

Did you take the crank pulley off?

Even if you did, the pulley should be keyed to only go on one way so set it at TDC.

Line up the cam gear.

Install chain & tension

Rotate crank pulley 2 FULL revolutions so the mark lines up where it should be.

Check the Cam gear for the correct position also, it should be there but the chain will no longer line up.
