Thanks for the info, so I assume with paint marks gone a person just lines up the chain with the dots in those positions. Tried to get this from the local nissan lift truck and needless to say not very helpful. Again thanks.

Crank's timing gear dimple will be at the 12:00 O Clock position while the cam gear timing position will be at the 3:00 O Clock position with the paint marks on timing chain to match these positions.
