    when you take out the crank pulley there is a notch but i guess that doesnt help with no covers and yes the cam gears have a notch i will draw a pic to show you what i mean

    to reset your timing you the best way to doit is to pull the number 1 spark plug and put apencil or somthing that you can get inside the cylinder and still see out the hole then you turn your crank pully either by hand or with a socket and a wrench and check to see when the pencil or what ever you put is at the highest point try to center it at the best spot. this will make sure that your piston is at top dead center and depending on what type of head you put on it is where your timing marks are at if is a SOHC your marks will be at the crank pully and at the tensioner and at the cam gear you will have to get a manual that tells you how this three line up. and just line them up and your good to go. if is a DOHC you will have to look for timing marks just on the two cam gears and line them up how the manual tells you or im not sure but in a honda they have to be facing ech other for an example look at my atachment and line them up sort of like that. for the timing marks look for any marks on the pulleys or gears for dots grooves indentatinos anything that looks like a factory made mark
