just need a quick confirmation on my idiocy

Alrighty i have everything off and will update

Also, at the proper tdc, that being compression tdc, both valves will be all the way up/unsprung/closed, correct?

After I pass the proper tdc, it would be the exhaust valve that starts to open, correct?

Also also, it very much appears that when spinning the hex for the oil pump shaft to prime it, and I don't know why I thought it wouldn't matter, it does indeed appear indexed incorrectly. At the tdc i had it at (unconfirmed if comp yet) the slot in the oil pump shaft was pointed closer to the driver rear piston than anything closer to the driver front #1 piston. Again will update soon

Thank you again
