   All standard saxo engines are TU.
   
   Number 1 cylinder (@ transmission end) needs to be at TDC. Put a 6mm bar in the locking hole into the flywheel, which is just below and behind the crank sensor, above the 5p size hole. Lock the cam with the 8mm hole through the cam pulley into the cylinder head.

   thats all correct, if its all pinned up and belt tensioned correctly the timing will be 100% on
