There's two cutout on the cams that should face outside, when piston #1 is at tdc.

Chris - pm me with your email address and i will copy and send you the right pages of the workshop manual. Noticed you are in Oxfordshire. If you are close to Faringdon you are welcome to borrow the complete book. Martin

ok, remembering a thread before the melt down about some timing marks being somewhat 'iffy' i thought id have a quick check on mine,
is the T mark sposed to be TDC or is it a few degrees before ??

Don't rely on the timing marks. Use a dead stop tool in number 1 cylinder and degree wheel on the end of the crank to get it right. If you must use timing marks then T is the closest.
