Before I get started, let me thank all those who contributed to my last post, "960 running on four cylinders". The responses were very helpful. The problem turned out to be a whole in one of the exhaust valves of the #2 cylinder.
The FAQ section was great help in removing cam cover and head. Also a great help in putting bottom half of head on the block. That is how far along I am. The reason I am posting, is that I'm having a heck of a time figuring how to place the camshafts in correct timing sequence. I have crank at #1 TDC. According to a diagram I got from a shop, the barely noticable marks on the cam sprocket should align with the indintations on the top part of the timing belt cover. The problem is, when I do this, the lobe on the exhaust cam for the #6 cylinder would be pushing the valve down. Of course, #6 piston is at the top of its stroke, like #1, so an open valve would wreck into the top of it. The intake positioning does not have an open valve on #1 or #6, so it might be fine.
I'm afraid the previous owner may have taken the cam gear or gears off at some time and put them on wrong.
I hope I'm making sense so far. Anyway, if there is a picture or diagram available showing the position of the cam lobes for #1 cylinder at TDC, I think I could get this puppy put back together. If no visuals exist, a discription would also be most welcome. As always, any consideration shown is much appreciated.
