hey could someone tell me or show me (PICS) what is the easiest way to set the timing with the engine in the car.

 

Look at the build book in the how to section

 

there is a notch on the balancer and a mark on the timing cover use a mirror to line them up and that puts number 1 at tdc for timing then line up the colored links accordingly u can also reference the gm sport compact build book for detailed instructions

 

What he said.

Pink links goes on the exhaust and blue to the intake. I have done this about 4 times now. Torque the cam gear bolts to 65 ft. lbs.
