steeda udp

[bullitt2086]

does anyone know were the tdc mark on the steeda crank pullie is i searched multiple times with the search funtion on here but kept saying no results...

also im doing a cam swap and was wandering if i needed to replace valve cover gaskets? i found some people say yes and many say not really...wats your opinions.

any other info that you all think is important would be much appreciated...

thanks

tdc on the crank is not as important. With the vc off verify alignment via the first 3 cam lobes, each side is different so do one side at a time.

No you do not need to replace the valve cover gaskets, just a dab of rtv in the grooves before they go back on.

so then i really dont have to put the engine on tdc? to do the cam swap?
also the cam lobes should be flat right?

This is just a nsr cam swap right.

Just take a best guess at tdc and pull the valve covers. Rotate the crank with a wrench until the cam lobes match whats pictured (each side is different)
