Just got my timing set today, I plan to tear
Into it Saturday, I have one question, when I have the cover off, looking at the timing gears, I want to line the gears up so the timing marks line up and avoid being one tooth off, but how do I turn the motor with just the gears exposed? Is there a place where I can get a wrench on? I read the pavement sucks article but I don't understand how he lined the timing marks up

I can't recall, the belt turns to the right correct? So if I run that bolt all the way down and keep turning it will turn the motor correct? It won't back itself out?

Use a 12" crescent wrench on the crank snout. (where the balancer normally is) There is a woodruff key there that you can use as a 'stop' for the wrench, and easily turn the engine to line up the marks.

I thought that way once upon a time as well..... right up until I broke one.... I was absolutely AMAZED. Of course, I was less than thrilled to have to pull the motor, and replace the crank, when I couldn't get what was left of the bolt out of the crank. That thing really LIKED it in there.....
