• you know I was reading about somebody else having the same problem the other day.. I didnt have anything on the engine when I got it. No flywheel, no alternator, no tensioner pulley. It was a pain. Im not sure how Im going to get the timing marks set..
  
  I just read your last part. I didn't put an egt probe in either. This thing has been squeezing my wallet so I thought I would wait a little.

  If you ever need to pull the head, you can slap a dial-indcator on #1 piston to find TDC...  Then scribe it someplace you like.

  I bought an egt set up for 55$ US from him. get more than 5 items (or something?) and shipping is paid for.
