Just put the timing mark on the balencer to 0*. make sure it is on the compression stroke. You dont need to find TDC to install a cam, just line up the marks on the timing gears.

considering hte balancer is off im not sure how u expect me to do that.... as for finding TDC yea i do need to so i can make sure my cam is at the correct degree so i have the proper amount of lift at TDC so the custom can is setup like it should be
