the 2 marks have to point at each other (i.e. there is a mark on the inlet and a mark on the exhaust cam wheel that need to point at each other), there is a tool to hold them but if you have enough patience and a helper, you can get your helper to hold the cams while you put the belt on. Then obviously, turn the crank to line up with its mark when you put the belt back on. The water pump has no timing mark as it doesnt need timing.

I was told the cylinder liner heights are/were frequently badly set at the factory which didn't help the head gasket problems, so worth looking at those. I've never investigated how involved it might be to set them correctly, but if it's not too much hassle it's got to to be worth a look.

Also replace plastic head dowels with steel ones.
