      The crank gear has a notch in it which goes to 12:00.

          On the harmonic balancer there are two ,one is tdc and the other is 8degrees BTDC.Behind the front cover is the crank gear with one notch that goes to 12:00

                  You should only need to remove the crank bolt...after the harmonic balancer.

                      The large bolt? Impact gun,but if you dont have one put a breaker bar on the bolt and wedge the handle end at the front of the car and crank the engine break it loose.Unplug the distributor so it dont try to start.

                        ^ do that if your car is automatic

                        if it's manual; drop the car in 5th gear; <-- try other gears;
                        not sure which 1;
                        but it locks the crankshaft; and u can crack it;

                          you can use the marks on the pulley to set it if you remember which way the crank turns.

                          Clockwise (standing from the passenger side and looking at the crank)

                          Thusly the notch that comes to the "TDC" or "0" mark first, while cranking in a clockwise direction is the TDC notch.

                          Now this is the way that it is SUPPOSED to be. Your pulley might be funky. I have ran into a couple wierd pulleys in the past. So, if it doesn't feel right when you set it to the first notch, try the second one. Yet I doubt that you'll have any issues.

                            The crank shaft gear is post to match the oil pan mark then put the pulley boss on and it should be pointing at 12 o clock. right so far ? what about cam i know z straight up but how do u know when it set right cause the engine is at a slant ? you still post to put it straight at 12 o clock and how do u match up the other marks on cam ? with ruller ? set ruller striaght on where valve gasket goes then turn cam till it matchs mark..... but there two marks

                              Sounds right for the crank so far,cam marks line up even with the head ,sure use a ruler .Dont forget to turn the engine twice to check before putting it all back together.
