Lots of lineup marks, the cam drive, the timing gear to cam flange (about 2 o'clock on the large gear) and the crank gear (6 o'clock) to cam timing gear(noon). Once those are aligned, checked to make sure #1 crank journal was at TDC (top of travel), and the cam lobes were pointing down (closed).

From the right to left. Seal assembly with cork seal, spacer, harmonic balancer, then pulley and nut. The aluminum under the pully is just to hold it up.
