#60 valve springs

I just got through doing my GSK,DVs and timing, and now its time to install #60 valve springs. Does anyone know of a way to know when the pistons are at TDC without removing the injectors? Is there some info out there that uses degrees on the balancer to know when the pistons are all the way up?

THANKS CRIS

Brother,

heres the deal, if you are really having grief, take off the valve cover, and as you do the job, here is the key. Only if htere is no other way.

rotate the engine, until the valves on whatever cylinder you are working on, start to rock. ( when the intake is starting to open, as the exhaust finishes closing) Mark this spot on your front pulley, then rotate the engine 360 degrees. this will put you very close, if not right onto TDC.

Kind of a bother, but it works well

Good Luck
