Default Timing Help

I just replaced the passenger side head on my car due to some bent valves. Im having trouble getting my car back in time, I had marks on the timing chain, but they wore off . I pulled a procedure for timing the motor off the net, but according to it, my drivers side and crank where out of time with each other, which is not right. Does anyone have any pics of a GT with the valve covers off that I could line my timing up with?

Yeah thats the one I looked at before and according to it my crank and drivers side are out of time with each other, and they havent even been touched since the car was running.

glad to hear you got it ;-)

I was nervous reattaching the chains on my car as well, but it really wasn't difficult at all..

im curious how much more difficult it might have been doing both sides instead of just the one
