The mark on the pinion shaft should be at approximately 11 o'clock IIRC. #2 cam gear has mark that lines up to pinion mark at 11 o'clock (5 o'clock on #2 gear), then 1, and 3 have marks that match to #2, #4 marks to #3. It does not matter where the pistons are to do the cam timing. Make sure the cams are timed correctly or you are headed for expensive problems. Then you can proceed from there. Some rubbing alcohol with maybe some dye in it would leave stain if the valves are leaking. Make sure rocker arms are off before you remove the camcase cover, you could damage the bushings with valves under tension when you remove cover.
A good IPA works better than Coors Light, but it would be a waste of the IPA. Better the Coors.
