What is a good method of getting TDC when the heads on? Should i look into the spark plug hole on the first piston on the passenger side and spin the crank till the piston cant reach up anymore?

Just crank the piston up to top, and paint a mark on your balancer, and one on the front cover, Then you can use that marks (until the balancer gets hot and spins).

Okay i used a pencil to feel the number 1 piston on driver side to come up top. I Looked at the passenger side with no head on and the number 6 piston is on top. Is this correct?

I misplaced one of my head gaskets for the passenger side. I already installed the drivers side valvetrain using JPRs chart and it work great im gona install the header on that side now. I am wonderig if what i did was okay? Installing one side of the head and valvetrain? I plan on putting it back to TDC and following the stpes again for the other side when i can get my hands on a gasket. Some info would be great. Thanks.

If your using .054" stock sized gaskets, Redline should have them in Pearl City, I believe $25 ea, Fel Pro, Mr Gasket and others on hand normally. Good luck. Your missing a lot of fun while the track is still open.
