I apologize for the late reply, I’ve had a crazy last few months moving from Alaska back to Texas. I’m sure you’ve probably already figured this out, but for future viewers I’ll go ahead and respond and pin your comment. At approximately 2:07 I show the TDC mark on the Harmonic Balancer. I’ve painted mine with an orange paint pen to make it easier to see. The harmonic balancer will have a straight line with TDC stamped into it next to the line. There isn’t a pointer or alignment mark, the TDC mark just needs to pointed directly up at the 12’oclock position. You can eyeball it and verify that you are indeed TDC by the movement on the valve rockers. If rockers are all tight, you haven’t reached TDC. If there are loose valve rockers, compare them to the notes in the description to see which set of valves are ready to be adjusted. Thanks for your engagement!
Great step by step instructions. Thanks for uploading.
Do you have to replace the Valve cover gasket that has the injector harness attached to it?
If it's loose the valves are closed if it's tight the valves are open
Very good info. Thank you
Hey do you know what you torqued the 6 bolts to that secure the valve cover?
I couldn’t find any exact torque numbers, but almost every external bolt is torqued to 18 ft. lbs. That’s what I torqued them to with no issues.
Where is the TDC pointer? What do I align the mark up with

I just used a pry bar with a vacuum cap over the end and pried on the timing lugs on the crankshaft pulley
