When using those directions, it doesn't mention the mark on the flywheel. There's a plug on the left side case, and when it is true TDC, you will have the mark next to "T" lined up.

I have a tip. When tightening your cam assembly back down DO NOT torque the bolts just to check valve clearance. I broke 3 bolts doin it that way. Torqueing them everytime weakens those bolts up bad. So just give it a good snug with your hand and check then when you are positive you are right you can torque them down. Thats my 2 cents!

I recommend to anyone checking valve clearance or changing cams to but new/extra carrier bolts and valve cover bolts because they are both easy to snap, I like redlined94 but personally I wouldn;t trust my clearances unless it torqued properly. The bolts cost unsually less than a $1.50 a piece and you don't have to weight 3-4 days to get them to finish working.
