You don't know where the crankshaft is?the harmonic balancer is bolted to the end of it...Look at the picture...that is the damper in front of the arrows that point to the rear slot and the blade...it has a pulley on the front that turns the serpentine belt. Look inside from the front and see the big bolt? Put a socket on it with a breaker bar and turn CW. that rotates the crankshaft and via the timing chain it turns the camshaft and the cam sensor plus the oil pump
This would be the best money you ever spent on your car http://buickman.r00td0wn.net/In the meantime while you are trying to hit Charles up for $20, look at these. Note these are generic instructions and you may not have things mentioned like a distributor. You have a cam sensor tho
You are lucky...I quit drinking a couple of years ago or so!that sounds like a really good deal to me...it always helps to work along side someone that has done it before....I have learned a lot from breaking parts, myself...

You have a cam sensor tho Hi Phil, That sound great that you found someone to help you out, and whats even better you're right next to the mechanic learning from him.Steve pointed out to you of getting a CD from buickman, definitely get it, great info and pictures to learn as you disassemble the timing cover. Keep us posted of progress and maybe some pictures of your hands are not dirty. haha
You really can't be afraid of ANYTHING Phil-- You have a 25 year old GN as your only daily driver- THAT takes guts!I had 4 of 5 cars broke this summer, I only drove the GN 'cuz it was 'least broke of the 4.
