Cam timing

I need to know how to correctly set the camshaft timing on a H30 inline 6-cylinder Nissan motor. I have 2 service manuals, and they don't explain how to correctly set the timing. I am replacing the timing chain, cam gear and crankshaft gear. Unsure where the timing marks are supposed to line up. Pictures or videos would be a great help.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
