Default cam timing

i am installing a andrews ev-27 in my 80"evo efi. the problem is that the pinion gear has no timing mark to match up too. i took out the timing plug and the two marks on the crank are not in the window. in order to see the marks i have to turn the engine about 1/16 of a turn but it does not stay there it rolls back a little bit. and i cant be on both sides of the bike at the same time (see the marks and slip cam on) what to do???????

When I installed my cam in my EVO I thought the same thing. The timing mark was on the very end of the tooth and was VERY hard to see.

You could put a mark on the gear like these.
