there are 2 sets of nothches in the crank pulley, get the second set in line with a lug raised on the sump at about "5 o'clock". use a flat bar, 2 spanners, or buy a special tool in slots at the coilpack end of the cams to hold the cams at tdc, if the flat bar doesnt go in then try turning it over again so they are at tdc on the correct stroke (bottom end goes to tdc twice for a full combustion cycle).

headbolts, stg1 25nm, stg2 45nm, stg3 105degrees further rotation.
cam bearing cap bolts stg1 10nm, stg2 19nm.
