Can someone PLEASE tell me how to make sure I have the timing correct before I reassemble the motor after replacing the head gaskets? I cant find any timing marks on this engine.

Rule of thumb. ALWAYS index everything before you take it apart!

These motors require special tools to hold the cam gear in place so it doesn't move.
if you made any marks on the gears (cam gears and crank gears) then put the motor back to them.

if not. id recommend setting the crank at TDC and find out where the cams are supposed to face?
if not, call a ford service manager and see if he will be kind enough to share
