[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 923967, member: 21394"] Radio Howie posted some pics of the cam sprockets from his engine on a bench. In real life, those marks are very hard to see because they are about 1/2 inch from the frame, and you have to have the valve cover off and timing chain cover to really visualize the marks, chain, slippers and timing. An inspection mirror, bright light and good angles can view them, but really, it's almost easier to move the sprockets to a position they are easily visualized, and transcribe a mark to the inboard side. Anyway, I recently completed the CCT change, and using reasonable precautions, you will not jump a timing tooth. Still, I triple checked. Here are the main reference I used.
