   Quick question:  The Bentley nor the Haynes directly clarifies this:  when 
the crank and cam gears are aligned and the timing mark on the crankshaft is 
positioned evenly at the case parting line,  this _IS_ zero degrees TDC cyl.

longblock was assembled,  but getting that out of the way early on would 
certainly simplify things!
