count 53 grooves on the timing belt from notch to notch on the cam gears.(that makes no sense lol) then take a plug out and put a bit of hose in cylinder one.crank it with your finger over the top and you'll feel compression, you'll feel it when its at top dead centre. then put your dizzy in with rotor at number one. its about the 4th mak from the left on the harmonic balancer.

yea theres a little indent on the cam gear, line that up at the top(facing upwards) then count 53 teeth on your belt down to the gear on the crankshaft.

i got the one on the camgear, i was looking for something on the head. Cam mark at 12 o'clock, 53 teeth down to the crank, balancer at TDC on the crank, should run.
