Rotate crankshaft to place No. 1 piston at top dead center, compression stroke.
Install camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket on timing chain. When the sprockets are installed, ensure the mating marks of the chain and sprockets are properly aligned. The mating marks on the sprockets are punched marks on the corresponding teeth. The marks on the chain are two plated links, Fig. 46.
Install camshaft sprocket on camshaft and align the keyway of the crankshaft sprocket with the key of the crankshaft, then install sprocket on crankshaft. Ensure timing marks are properly aligned.
Install crankshaft sprocket ``B,'' Fig. 45, on the crankshaft.
Install two counterbalance shaft sprockets ``B'' on chain ``B,'' aligning the mating marks. The mating marks on sprockets are punched marks on the corresponding teeth. The mating marks on the chain are three plated links, Fig. 47.
Install chain ``B'' on crankshaft sprocket, then the two counterbalance shaft sprockets ``B'' and tighten the lock bolts.
Install chain guides ``A,'' ``B'' and ``C,'' Fig. 47, and loosely install mounting bolts.
Tighten chain guides ``A'' and ``C'' mounting bolts.
Shake right and left sprockets ``B'' to collect chain slack at point ``P,'' Fig. 47. Adjust position of chain guide ``B'' so when the chain is pulled in direction of arrow ``Y,'' Fig. 47, the clearance between chain guide ``B'' and the links of chain ``B'' will be 0.04 - 0.14 inch. Tighten chain guide ``B'' mounting bolts.
Install timing case gasket and case.
Install oil screen and oil pan.
Install crankshaft pulley.

Answer

The picture is kind of hard to say for sure, I am going to see if I can locate another picture. It does appear the marks are on the gears. Make sure the piston is at top dead center on the compression stroke. Both valves will be closed on the compression stroke.

I see on #3 it says to align the keyways but is that with the cam key down and the crank key up or with both up, I see the cam has a cicle at the top but cant see the crank key way, in pic 47 looks like the key way is to the right but dont know if that is just for installing the second chain. sorry for the extra questions,

Accepted Answer

If you set the number 1 pistion to top dead center, both valves closed the keyways
should be in the right postion. Look at the marks on the gears and put the chain on the marks with the plated chain. Install with the marks off to the right side like the pictures.
