The book would help a lot, and I don't have one anymore. And yes, all you have to do it line up all the dots again. Make sure you start at the pinon (motor shaft). It's all easy don't worry. You might have to slide two in at a time though. Good luck....

More Info

Does anyone have a picture of this I need this done today and need to see where the timing marks go. If anyone has a link to the manual online that would be great. Also cylinder 1 at TDC during this?
