LOL at your name...guess your really upset with the thing? SunL has had a few hate threads in the past...
Are you trying to set the cam timing? Flywheel on TDC mark and the cam set with the valves closed? There are usually lines and or a arrow to set the cam sprocket in relation to the top of the head..
