Behind the gear is a washer about an eighth of an inch thick the marks are on this washer and are clearly distinghished notches about the width and depth that the washer is thick. The first cam stand has a risen arrow cast into it.

still needing help

I found the cam marks I think I'm close the car will run but runs rough. the hole right bank is not hitting on all 4 the timing mark that I believe is the right one it is a little mark on the cam bearing just below the oil tub is this correct?. I can also crack the injector lines on cylinders 1,2,3,4 one at a time and there is no change. Also I removed the plug wires on cylinders 1,2,3,4 at the same time and it ran the same with all 4 wires off I am sooooo confused at this point any help would be fantastic.

Look for an air leak. Have you checked compression. It would be almost unheard of to bend valves on the right head. Have you had the chain off for any reason. How did the problem start?
