I usually point the marks exactly at each other, but since the little gear turns TWICE as fast as the big gear, one revolution of causes the timing marks to alternate between pointing directly toward each other and both timing marks being at "twelve o-clock". If you have any concerns, connect a starter and see what the compression is. If you have good compression, it's right. NO to start with get your #1 cyl. at top dead center on comp. stroke then set crank gear at 12 o'clock and cam gear at 6 o'clock (marks pointing at each other) other wise your timing will be way off and cause major problems
