Yeah..
There is a TDC line on the vibration damper.
Of course the TDC mark will show TDC twice once at true TDC then at 180* out.

You know when your at true TDC when both the intake and exhaust rocker is loose or can be wiggled on the #1 cylinder.

I would also advise getting a "barring tool" from Snap On or Miller...

Thank You. I had the wrong instructions. I found out after taking everything apart.
The truck is much quieter now. Worked out very well.
