Ok, the head has been replaced. I had a look in this string, but can't seem to find any refernce on how to find top dead center to continue the process.
THX in advance.

Should be mark on the crank pulley, watch the valves to see when both valves are closed on the cylinder you want top dead center on.

Waiting to hear it running!

Turn it over with a wrench and make sure there is no binding. If you have the cam and rockers assembled and no cam belt fitted some valves will be opened and will collide with the pistons as they move.

So can someone confirm that the TDC (Top Dead Center) position is confirm by the front of the engine marks on the Pulleys ? For Injection Pump Timing Purposes.

Thanks !
