[QUOTE="dubdubz, post: 371636, member: 1072"] The dizzy does appear to be at 5 o'clock on tdc, as I wasn't sure had Marvel rotate engine by hand, and watching #1 inlet/exhaust , they never seemed to get loose enough, even after about 6 180 deg spins. Going to have another go on Monday... Going to remove both sets of rockers, label and measure pushrods, and check valve stems line up. Then check shims for rockers are the same both sides. Seems extreme but then I know all the bits are right, which I'm sure they are but I need to discount them...then we'll get it to tdc with #1 plug out. I'm also tempted to remove pulley bolt, and work out where woodruff key is, to then check transfer marks from gen stock pulley...again just to check. The head studs length still puzzles/bothers me but I'm 6 beers into my BBQ, so perhaps I'm too sensitive and should man up! [/QUOTE]
