Ok, a few questions... I have now the resurfaced flywheel. Is now a time, before assembly to find and mark TDC? I was hoping it would be easier than finger plugging # 1 spark plug and turning the engine over after initial install. I need to know this before dropping DIST. 2nd there is a pilot bushing there in the engine now. Appears in great shape. But I have a pilot bearing that came with one of the throwout bearings that would work. I guess its a choice of old or new + bushing or bearing. I am going to assemble + install the engine like this with bell housing attached. Unrelated but still the same engine. Does anyone recall if the oil cap was painted or left metal? I was thinking of just a clear coat for that and keep some patina since the valve cover is original.
