How do you know when your at tdc...and which is the #1 cylinder

thank you in advance

 

The cam gears have the word "up" etched on them. they will be facing up. there's another set of marks (3 oclock on the ex cam, 9 oclock on in cam) etched on the cam gears that will be looking at each other and will be parallel with the head when you're at tdc.

#1 cylinder is next to the timing belt.

 

thanks man much appreciated

 

you'll need to adjust valve lash afterwards. I like to keep it simple and go with .007" on both
there's some nice write-ups in the itr faq thread.
