HELP! 22r timing from scratch!

[blacksmoke8958]

I've got an 86 toyota pickup. I'll try to post pics later, so far I've put an almost brand new 22r in it (almost because I put 30,000 miles on it in another yota) and we've lifted it a little, put a full roll cage on it, and paint is done. now time for motor work. I've got the motor down to the block because I had the head re surfaced and put bigger springs on it and ported, polished it. also have a bigger comp cam to go back in it as well as little stuff like header, oh and I took the EGR stuff off. I figure while the head is off, might as well put a timing chain in. no big deal, then I get it all apart, and realise its not going to be back in time when it goes together. I need help timing this thing from scratch. its ready to go back together but I'm stuck here. please lend me some knowledge if you have any to spare. I'm somewhat new to the toyota world, but I'm trying to learn and I LOVE these little trucks.

I THINK that you install the distributor with the rotor pointing at cylinder one and about halfway through the adjustment lobe is a good place to start. The dot on the lower sprocket should be in line with the keyway on the crank, which should be on the bottom of the crank. Then the dot on the upper sprocket should be on the top or just to the left (ie 11 oclock or just not quite 12 oclock). Line up the bright or differently colored chain links with the dots. That should get you started. If it's like mine and you have a different year head than block then you might have to mix and match parts as I had to use an 89-95 upper sprocket, and an older chain, guides, lower sprocket, etc. Im telling you all this out of memory so if it's wrong someone will chime in but I'm pretty sure that I've got it all right.
