For you josharre:
The FSM is pretty straight forward in regards to setting the timing and aligning the camshafts, but here is a visual:
Make sure the crankshaft is set to TDC:


Then looking at the back side of the cam gears, you will see the alignment marks. Match up the single dots together in the center and align the two dots at the outer edge in a straight line:



Then you can place the timing gear:


I added oil to the camshaft journals and when setting them in and again before replacing the valve cover.
Important: Don’t forget to remove the service bolt from the exhaust side camshaft gear before sealing up the valve cover. This could be easy to overlook.
