Just a thought, Graham... some people have (and do) use a timing mark that they've made on the camshaft pulley with a corresponding mark on the cover. (It's easier to see rather than having to take the cover off the flywheel) However, the camshaft pulley does not fit on a keyway, it's on a taper so if it has ever been removed there is no guarantee that it has been put back in exactly the same place. Best to use the flywheel, and for belt and braces, a check through n°1 plug hole that the piston actually is at the top of its travel (and on the compression stroke).

As has been mentioned earlier a good starting point is to find top dead centre and then rotate the flywheel until the 1,4 marks are opposite the oil feed to the dashboard gauge.
