If so, then you pretty much have possibly created a new problem. As far as setting the first cylinder at top dead center, you usually will have a small dot on the crank sprocket (the bottom one) which will be your timing mark. Generally speaking, when you got that sprocket at 12:00, you have the first cylinder at top dead center. The 2 cam sprockets also should have similar marks. As far as where they are supposed to be positioned, I am sorry but I don't know but they should also have a similar ordeal. Try turning the crank sprocket slowly, you will have some hard spots but that's from then the cylinders are about to reach top dead center and are on the %26quot;compression stroke%26quot;.
