When I rebuilt my 3.0, it took me several hours of tearing things apart before I figured that out
Thanks, going th look at it now. Does anyone know what "O'clock position" thew KEYWAY in the crankshaft should be for the #1 compression stroke at top dead center? Mine seems like approx 7 O'clock and the 2 front and back camshaft marks are lined up with the alt bracket and the inner timing cover. It seems to be maybe 3 marks on the crankshaft pully equidistant about 120 degrees apart
