Sorry to ask but I have read too much about this that I am not sure. At what position is the missing tooth on the crank position device (ring with the teeth on it) when cylinder #1 is at TDC?

I bolded a few thing because I have problems seeing small font, others may too.

EDIT: At what degree, thanks.

The center of the gap is 60º past the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor at TDC. In other words, the CKP sensor is above the sixth tooth from the gap.

    So, my 02 SEL with the 24V 3.0L just rolled over 1/4 million miles yesterday. Original engine and trans. These are mostly city miles. I got the car a couple of years ago from the widow of a life long friend of mine. He delivered parts for a local parts house in it, as well as a daily driver...

    I recently replaced the engine in my '02 SES DOHC and since I was documenting the process anyway thought I would post it here if it would help anyone else along the way. Backstory - I bought this car about a year ago for $500. The previous owner took great care of it but said the transmission...
