you can also just bolt a flatbar diagonal across studs to stop the piston before you put on the head
then once you have it set , for future use you can drill something like an 1/8" hole into the rotor for a dowel
that is a badass wheel nice and big esay to see spacing on hash mk's

Set head with exhaust side 20~40 thou high.
When you do that the stud holes will be angled and the flat surface where nuts fit will also be angled so you need to spot face them back to parallel with head surface.
Stud holes may also need modifying if studs contact edges of holes

Zeke was watching Youtube today and is showing me a new trick on how to install a tire and tube...if this works we should get some sort of ichiban award for use of Zipties
To find TDC and degree the cam on my engine after it was assembled, I made a piston stop out of an old sparkplug that I had threaded internally for an 8mm bolt.
Similar to this piston stop:

Then I punch marked my rotor. It was slightly right of the stock TDC mark.
After it was marked I took the top cover off and used some spacers to keep everything compressed. Then I dialed in the cam with my degree wheel.
thats ok we want to try all the different ways and we are going to use the piston stop to see if it is as accurate as this way. The thing I like about xb's way is that you can hold the steel and with just the slighted touch feel it hit and you don't have to worry with damaging valves.
thank you I think we are closing in on more mistakes well we learn a lot by installing cam chain tensioners upside down flowing things the wrong way...but we are having fun!
