while cruising at high speed, engine lost power and died. Can't find a timing notch or mark on front pully. Can anyone tell me where to look.

There is a indentation on the cam sprocket which I assume should be at 12 oclock at TDC, but can't find mark on crank pully (there is a timing pointer at about 10 oclock on the front of the engine)

thanks

do these engines blow head gaskets often?

The cam sprocket mark needs to be at the top while the crank

mark is at the 10 o'clock position you mentioned.

There is a mark on the engine for the crank sprocket, but not

for the cam sprocket. Chilton's manual has incorrect position

for the cam sprocket mark. If you look, there is a mark on the

valve cover for the cam sprocket.
