What year M42 or M44? Should be able to TDC number 1 piston then allign the two camshaft end blocks. There is a tool to lock the cams in place but I've never used it, I use a straight edge or dial indicator (I sold that dial indicator timing kit to a member maybe he will rent it out if you need it)

After you have the cams alligned you are all set to put it back together. Remember to always turn the motor over in a clockwise rotation so there is no chain slack.

Hope this helps, John S
