Default EVO Timing

Hello
I am the new guy on the block GREETINGS!
I am rebuilding a 99 Evo engine, had to replace the flywheel assembly. Does any one know how to set the timing up?
I have set the timing line on the flywheel at TDC but the cam dot is not lining up on the dots of the pinion gear. Can anyone help me?
When I set up all the dots on the cam with the breather gear and pinion shaft, the flywheel is almost on BDC

You're right. The TDC & Front cyl timing dot on the flywheel are for referencing TDC and Front cyl dot for timing with a timing light. The marks on the cam, breather and pinion, do not have to line up with the flywheel marks, they only need to align with themselves.

Forgot to say, there is a difference between ignition timing and cam/breather timing. Hope that helps.
