Default Does my timing gear set up look correct?

I'm re-building my SLP short block and just re-installed the used Rollmaster timing set that came with my motor, but the crank gear sprocket was already on.

Now, does the white mark on the crank sprocket (there is no dot) mean I should match that dot to the dot on the cam gear?

I need help quick, lol.

With the "0" on the key, it looks as tho the original assembler used the white paint to ID the sprocket tooth that should align w/ the cam dot.

Advance 2* on the left, Retard 2* on the right. You're right in the middle. I'd say you've got it!

It's perfect. Keyway will be about 2 o'clock when the dot is at 12 o'clock.
