ka24de cam/ignition timing problem need informed advice

[thrasherx89]

ok so here is what i need from somebody, im going to write what i think i know about and if im wrong correct me so i can try to figure out this problem

ok so i know that the ka24de can be set to zero at the crank at the second knotch from the left hand side

i also know that connects to a chain that goes up to another sproket which connects to the cam chain

i know the cam chain has a silver marker on it to help time it correctly with the cams

i know that when the 1st cylinder is at tdc that its about to enter the intake cycle or the ignition cycle

my problem is that i took off the cam chain too many times to try to adjust it that i dont know how that marker link is suppose to line up with the cams dots so i need to know information about that

also i need to know what the intake and exhaust cam are suppose to look like when the first cylinder is on tdc so i can be sure

i also would like to know that if setting the crank to zero at the markers makes the piston at tdc or not because i think that has something to do with ignition timing, which the dot aligns with the square on the distributor to be set to zero when the crank is at zero

this is all stuff i think i know i need somebody to help me get everything back to zero and timed right

thanks!!
