At 11 O-clock behind the crankshaft sprocket there is a nipple on the
housing. Also there is a small V notch cut into the tone wheel behind
crankshaft sprocket one tooth to the left of Keyway for crank. Line up these to get crank @ TDC. Much faster than reinstalling cover and using timing marks.

For camshaft sprocket, refer to diagram.
