my kid was driving it and it started to rap real load and stalled, I went and towed it home. It will start if you hold the gas to the floor. But raps real loud. Sounded like vaulve rap. So I did a compression check, only did 3 cylinders but I had zero thirty and ninty. So I figured timing chain sliped. I opened the timong case and chain has a little slop not that bad, teeth seem all ok. I want to make sure it didnt slip, I found the dot on the bottom shaft, but where is the mark on the top? There are three slotts in the sprocket and a single round hole about a quarter inch round, but no dots, is it the hole that should be at six while the dot is at 12?

Looking at front of engine cam pin should be at 3 o'clock with hole in sprocket straight down. Crank key should be at 11 o'clock with mark straight up
