whats up guys im rebuilding my single cam but i have a question about the timing...right now the block is ready for the rebuilt head to go on..i know the crankshaft and camshaft keyholes are supposed to be at 12o'clock with number 1 piston at TDC.before i bolt down the head is there anything special i need to do?i have read that wen u set the timing everything is supposed to be at TDC on the compression stroke then the oil pump and distributor are installed with the shaft looking like a backwards "D"...so my main question is how do i go about installing everything starting from where i stand?
this is my first engine rebuild so please bear with me guys

thanks!!
