Yeah that would have been a better idea but I needed the car finished ASAP as its my main mode of transportation. I used sea foam in a spray bottle with an old tooth brush and some rags. Let the sea foam soak and it came out pretty clean with some elbow grease.

I gotta say using mobil-1 for 10+ years sure as heck kept the motor clean. No sludge build up:)

LOL, I hate when that happens! When I was making my screen name I was in the middle of the whole timing chain debacle and needed advice quickly. Now that you said it I do remember that, oops

Flywheel hole is right underneath starter motor and when the flywheel pin goes in, it will sit right up against the block. You can't miss it - just have a good look. If you haven't got the tool, use an 8mm drill bit.

What about the cams? Have you got the locking tool for the camshafts?
