Setting timing on 1992 FE350 - am I doing this right?

Hi all, following on from my previous thread about the snapped tappet.

I have now got two new exhaust valves, new stem seals, water pump seals and other bits, the valves are lapped in and head is back on. All seems to be in order.



Now I am trying to get the cams and crank timed up. I have taken off the ignition cover to reveal what I assume is the flywheel.



I couldn't find any definite marks on this to set it to TDC. I found it the old school way using a rod in the spark plug hole and marked it with red paint.



I read a few threads on this forum about timing these up and I also read the manual. I read bearbuster's thread here

My cam seems to be the same as his and so with the cam lobes pointing down, the bolts are at three and nine o'clock.



Does this look correct? It doesn't look perfectly parallel to the head but its very very close.

Always very happy to get any advice and enjoy learning.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks palle but husabutt is correct, we have different engines.

Thanks husabutt, I have used the dead stop method and found the exact TDC and I am happy that my cam sprocket bolts are parallel with the head.



I think I am ready to reassemble now and set the clearances...
