It has been a long time since I have set valve timing on a Yblock.
 I am aware of counting the 12 pins on the chain to set the timing.  I set #1 valves to TDC and checked #6 at TDC. But having trouble setting the gears.  Are the cam and the crank keys ways set at the 3 clock position looking from the front of the engine?  Or is there another way to set the keyways on the cam and crank? 
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

The dots on the crank and cam gears are at the 3 o'clock position as  you are looking at them from the front of  the engine.  Twelve pins between the dots is correct.  You may have to tweak ;one of the gears slightly  to  get both keys to align with their keyways.

If I set the timing marks at the 3 o'clock position the keys are set 3'oclock for the crank, 5 o'clock for the cam.  Is this correct?
