Default RE: Saito FA 45 Prop Driver Removal - Help

Ok Guys... I have the new bearings installed and all went well... a little heat, a few deft smacks and things removed niceley beforehand.

I am now putting it all back together and am not certain that I can get the valve timing gears back to the original tooth location.

I made a mark on the valve cam gear when I dismantled it and marked the Main drive shaft position at the same time, in the hopes that I the valve drive gears will mesh at the correct tooth location upon reassembly , but It could still be off by one tooth either way by chance.

The attached pics show the timing marks on the valve drive gear for this Saito FA 45.....Does anybody know how to set this up correctly before I attempt to reassemble?

There is also a pin on the drive gear on the crank that may play a roll also?...see pic

Thanks, Eric
