Start from the beginning, again. First the Cam gear dot faces at 6 o/clock. the crank gear at 12 o/clock. This puts you at # 6 on the firing order. Whenever installing the bottom gear, ALWAYS make sure the #1 piston is at top dead center, then look at he timing mark on the crank gear. Some times there is a smaller mark that is the manufactures insignia on the gear and confuses the installer as the maybe this was the mark. Also, If it is a three keyway, Use the same mark as the key slot. + to+ ,- to - and dot to dot. or Square to square, triangle to triangle. Remember if you ALWAYS have the #1 piston ALL the way up at Top dead center, It's highly unlikely to make a mistake. If the heads are on then look down the plug hole or even put the cover on with two bolts and just set the balancer on and install with the timing groove on the damper in line with 0 on the tap, slip it off All should be at TDC.
