        I just tried to put all mark on the pix.
        I cant get to the cam mark. It goes lower than the lower edge of the head
      gasket or higher than the edge of the gasket witch is exactly at the mark on
      the metal sheet in front of the engine.
      **** Here is another way to check for crankshaft TDC.
      take out #1 plug
      rotate crank with wrench and socket until you feel compression in #1 piston
      (use your finger)
      insert a straight wire or long pencil . .anything (i used a big tie wrap). .into spark plug  hole
      and bottom it out on the piston top
      now turn crank back and forth while looking at the wire until you have no
      more movement . .this should be TDC .
      Check the timing mark on the flywheel . . .it should be aligned to the "0" 

      I did that way too.
      Piston 1 at the top
      Front pulley mark
      Flywheel mark 0
      All those 3 were at is place at the same time. Everithing is corresponding.

        I made couple turn to check if anything is touching. Was ok, the valves
      dont touched pistons.
      *****Your engine is non-interference . .piston will never touch the valves. (OUPS)

        I crancked the engine, but i did only one try, just to try if anything is
      still ok.
        And the engine did not like it, it knock alot on the first turn...... too
      much advance and seems valves touched pistons a little.

        So i ll put back at the mark that was before.
