one thing to keep in mind is that there are two events in play here concerning these marks. the bottom gear will reflect the position of the piston and when it is at true tdc, the twin marks will be in direct alignment with the centers of the crankshaft and the camshaft. proper timing will be achieved when the chain is attached while the camshaft lobes are exactly aligned with the top level of the cylinder ( made easier by later gears having two punch marks to align with). to have the crank mounted balancer in the right place, the single mark on the lower camchain gear (counterbalancer shaft) should be aligned with the twin marks on the crank gear (that's what makes the motor so smooth ;.), and since the crank and balancer gears are the same size, the relationship stays the same as it rotates.
clear as mud, right?

Thanks mate, i've managed to get it all back together and topping it up with fluids. It seems to be taking a lot more than 1 litre?
I've probably put 1.25 or so litres in already and it's not really even registering on the window at all... When you pull the motor apart does a lot more oil come out than is meant to come out when you do a change?

Another one of my blonde moments where I didn't measure how much i had put in, just wanted to give it a flush out and became concerned when what felt like more than a litre had gone in but it hadn;t
Thanks
It's fully reassembled and somehow is not leaking oil or coolant! Theres a rattle somewhere in the engine which is concerning me but it's probably been there the whole time.
I can't think of anything I could have done wrong, the timing was all correct and all
Maybe I can upload a vid to youtube for you to listen?
