Anyway I've got one now - I've found some information in the FSM for setting it up correctly which I'll add at a later date.
If your Engine is still apart you should have an easy time setting the Pointer.
Ounce you are to the point where everthing is assembled but the Head is not one yet set Up a Dial Indicator over the #1 Piston and rotate it in the direction of rotation till it is just at top dead center. The Pointer that you replaced should point to Zero degrees. Which nicely is the same positon you want to install the Camshaft Gear.

I believe in the Manual to check the Pointer they have you useing the Dial Indicator going down though a Precombustion Chamber hole.
It will be much easier to do with out the head on and way easier to get the Dial Indicator mounted straight.
