yeah you guys are right
I had nissan on my mind and got confused with another post I was reading.
on the mazda I think the crank key points up at 12 oclock , this should line up the mark on the pulley with the pointer on the cover. as for the cam sprocket I think you position the A straight up if memory serves me right.
now that I think about it I pulled that other out of a manual I had. I'm sure it was the wrong serial number range most likly
