bro... be carefull.. its important to lock/TDC.. and you may need special tools there.

figure 4 is the flywheel locking tool to prevent the bottom end from moving around. you can make out any std hand tools for that purpose. figure 35 is the procedure for TDC, camshaft and tensioner chain setup.

What do you want to DIY?
