first thanks for the reply...

but oh no. I just read this and she's all buttoned up..... almost ready to fire...

As I said before the crank was at 12:00, the cam at 10:00 so i rotated the cam from 10 to 6:00 so the two marks were lining up... that was per some youtube vides ???? Looks like the attached link but I think you get the picture.

The dizzy was installed so the rotor points towards the #1 mark from the cover... and generally pointed to the #1 cylinder...

but from your reply I have totally screwed up... argue so my option is pull everything apart again...

p.s. it's not a roller cam, it's only a roller rockers and I have prelubed everything using a oil pump tool... I adjusted valves by going to TDC, loosening and retightening till the slop was gone then applying a preload of 1/2 turn... as I understand it the performance guys preload 1/4 turn usually and the factory to one turn... saw a lot of recommendation to 1/2. I'm going to go read all your links.... thanks...
