Kz305 cam chain

Hello 
I have a early 80s kz305 what I’m having trouble finding how to set the cam shaft timing  on 
I had to take the head off to the bolts removed but with the head back in my shop I can’t find any marks on the cam shaft as to where to set the timing for them 
I have the copy of the original manual and the repair manual and have spent several hours on google and even went to a local shop 
all with no progress 

Any suggestions are definitely appreciated 

thanks Jeff

Under the left side cover, look into the window and match the "T" mark (next to the F mark) with the arrow on the case. Then put the cam in with the line marks on the sprocket parallel to the head/valve cover mating surface. I like to do a couple full rotations after getting the chain on to make sure I have it right.
