With the 7mge you just take the distributor cap off and when it is pointing at number one then you got it a TDC. With the turbo and not having a distributor I am not sure. Take it and align it where you got it now and try turning it one more revolution and timing it at 0 for the second time. and see what it does. may save you on a rebuild and might explain the rod knock too if the timing is off. Look in your tsrm and see what the procedure is for doing it that is my best suggestion when I bought mine for my 86.5 I was supprised at what all I was doing wrong.
