How do the cams line up?

[JimX]

Ok so I've stuffed up the cam alignment when putting my adjustable cam gear on. Does anyone know how the dots line up? Like, are they both meant to be up the top at TDC or something? Also, where is the mark on the crank for TDC, as I can't seem to find it.

Even though I already asked about this in my cam adjustment thread (and answered it), I thought I would put the info here in a separate thread as well, in case anyone searches for the info in future.

The story I've been told is that there are 2 marks on the plate behind the cam wheels, where the dots should line up when the crank is at TDC.

I'm going to take another look at my engine tonight and see if I can find the lines, and I'll post photos if it's at all useful.

Jim X with the engine at TDC the crankshaft key will

be 12o'clock intake cam mark 10 o'clock and exhaust

cam 2o'clock.

you may have to turn the engine over a few times

to align your marks.
