Okay, I posted before about my Cylinder head gasket/head problem. I wasnt sure which it was, but I knew I was getting water. I have begun the process of taking her apart.

I was following CHILTON,but I have found another (BETTER) info source.

unfortunately I dont know how to turn the Crank to align the piston of cylinder 1 is at TDC of compression stroke with crankshaft and camshaft timing marks aligned, Fig. 1.


WHAT THE HELL DOEST THAT MEAN?

do I remove the Cylinder head and THEN i can turn the crank to align,or is it suppose to be done before removal...and if so, how do you get it to turn, its just stuck..I cant move it.

I am a beginner, so I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thank you.

(Directions for CYLINDER HEAD)
1-Disconnect battery ground cable, then drain engine coolant.
2-Remove air filter, then disconnect accelerator cable.
3-Remove coolant hoses and shrouds as necessary, then disconnect breather hose.
4-Disconnect PCV hose, then the oxygen sensor connector.
5-Remove A/C compressor drive belt, then disconnect power steering breather pipe.
6-Mark and disconnect spark plug cables, then the coil wire.
7-Remove front exhaust pipe attaching nuts, then disconnect front exhaust pipe and remove gasket.
8-Remove rocket cover assembly, then the rocker cover gasket.
9-Rotate crankshaft in normal direction of rotation until piston of cylinder No. 1 is at TDC of compression stroke with crankshaft and camshaft timing marks aligned, Fig. 1.
10-Mark distributor cap and housing to facilitate installation and remove distributor.

[11-Remove camshaft sprocket bolt, washer, drive gear and spacer. Pull camshaft sprocket with timing chain out from camshaft, then place sprocket on top of camshaft sprocket holder. Do not remove belt from crankshaft sprocket. Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft independently.]


12-Remove cylinder head attaching bolts in sequence shown, Fig. 2, then remove cylinder head and gasket.
13-Remove intake and exhaust manifolds.
14-Reverse procedure to install. Prior to installing head gasket, apply sealant, 3M No. 8660 or equivalent, to top surface of each butt joint between cylinder block and timing chain case.
15-Referring to bolt tightening sequence, Fig. 3, tighten cylinder head bolts in two steps as follows:
Torque all bolts except No. 11 to 69 ft. lbs. on a cold engine or 75 ft. lbs. on a hot engine.
Torque cylinder head to chain case cover bolts (No. 11) to 156 inch lbs.
16-Torque intake and exhaust manifold nuts and bolts to 11-14 ft. lbs.
17-Prior to installing rocker cover gasket, apply sealant, 3M No. 8660 or equivalent, to semicircular packing and .4 inch (10mm) of cylinder head on either side of semicircular packing.
18-Torque rocker cover bolts to 4-5 ft. lbs.
