camshaft is about 12oclock u should have a dot or something on there to
let you know to line it up with a mark some place on the cover,remove
the spark plug number one and time it up the old way .

Nope, as XUs tend to be timed half-way between top and bottom dead centres
(all pistons on the same level).
