Default Cam pulley...... sounds daft, but which way round??

HI, i've done the cambelt beofre on my car without any problems, but this time the right-hand inlet cam has spun round too far for me to be able to work out exactly where the timing marks are supposed to be, on all the opther pulleys the timing marks are 90 degrees apart, which makes it easy to tell where it's supposed to be, but on this wheel they're 180 degrees apart, which means it could go either way round, which would clearly mean a 50% chance of getting it wrong..... on the wheel is a marking 'IN' should this be at the top, or bottom of the cam wheel to be the right way round..... or if you like to put it another way, should the woodruff key be at the top or bottom....

Cheers.... it sounds confusing, but if you can translate my english it's not really.......

the should be 2 marks on the bottom of the pully and one on the top.

the 2 marks line up with with the 2 marks on the top of the bottom pully.

also it should be on lobe a bit as well

hope that helps

The Double marks should all be facing each other.
