Hi Paul,
Yes the manual is a bit vague and my copy is badly scanned, but I can send you a copy of the page if you wish.
I have just replaced my timing chain so here's what I did
There are three timing marks on the gear, but one is covered by the decompression spring mechanism cover.
1. Make sure you're on TDC on the compression stroke i.e. all valves closed.
2. If you can't identify the third timing mark, a small dimple , you may have to remove the gear from the camshaft and then you'll see it.
3. You set the two timing marks laying at 180 degrees to each other parallel to the top of the block. The third should be at 90 degrees and vertical to theses two.
