    First of all the crank turns 2 times for every one turn of the cam so the marks will line up every 2 revolutions of the crank. I think thats what you getting confused with the 6 and 12 o clock positions.
    Set the crank gear at the zero mark in the instructions.

    Be sure to install the crank gear so the O is the one on the crank keyway.
