I then turned the engine over till the O/T mark on the crank lined up with the pin on the crankcase (found the pin at last...  ) like this:

You got it. That's the pin.

At the same time the O/T mark is aligned, the rotor arm is pointing here - although its not pointing directly at it its pretty close? Is that ok?: (i also found the correct notch-cheers chris!)

That looks ok.

I now reinstall the cams (dots aligned) and connect the chain yes? Then top guide rail then tensioner?

So far everything is fine.
When everything is together again (except for the sparcs) and
before you start the engine - turn it twice by hand at the crank to make shure everything is smooth and nothing blocks. You never know.
Take care with the tensioner, push the inner part (bolt) out (towards the engine) and set it in from the outside again. Otherwise you will block the chain with too much tension... New alloy rings for the tensioner are a good idea.
all the best,
bis denn,
Christian
