There should be a total of 3 marks you need to look at on either cam gear. The first 2 are in line with each other and are notches on the actual cam gear teeth. You will need to line these two up against each sprocket to determine if the cam shafts are in time. The last one is a dowell looking pin that is located right above the center nut. both sprockets need to have the dowel holes pointing at 12 o'clock. Using this in conjunction with your crank being in TDC (crank,oil pump and balance shaft) you car should be in time.'

The firing order is 4-1-2-3 from left to right on the coil pack and 4-3-2-1 with 1 being closest to timing belt on the head.
