I need detailed info on getting the engine to top dead center

I have searched this forum as well as pelican and the web in general and I am not having any luck on finding a detailed description on how to set the boxster engine to TDC. I am doing a clutch job this weekend with the super kit from pelican and I am still trying to decide if I want to tackle the IMS bearing. I have read alot of posts by Mr. Raby and others and I just want to go over every detail before I get into it. I sure do not want to have to have this towed to the stealership in Albuquerque.
Thanks again for the advice.

Its a 2002 s with roughly 65,000 miles on it. I have done all the maintenance myself thusfar.

I have also driven it as the Dr. intended.

Cheers

Mark

You will be able to insert a locking pin in the pulley:



Then you should be able to use a locking key on the cam, some keys lock both cams on one side. The end of the cam shafts will line-up, up and down.
