Possible timing issue

After some advice and guidance. 

With the help of a mate, done a cam belt change on my 1.8 EX engine. All the pulleys were helpfully covered in paint dots, notches and milled dots. 

My car is a 90 with the plastic covers on, so when the bottom end pulley is fitted the notch lines up with the arrow in the casing and after some adjustment the dizzy now lines up with notch/roter arm. Also confirmed with no1 cyl being TDC with the spark plug removed.

My query is the top crank, there is an OT marker on the casing, but the pulley has several marks on it. On the side facing away from the block there is a notch and a 0 mark, and more on the opposite side. 

The engine runs, but it sounds tappy, it may simply be that the tappets are dry after not moving in 7 months. Or it may be worse… It doesn't run lumpy though.

Is there a way that i could confirm where my top crank should be positioned if I realigned to TDC off the no1 cyl and maybe then removed the rocker cover to check the position of the cam? (I've not been able to use the gearbox view window as I can't get the cap off.)

I've upload a video how it's running at the min. I wanted to confirm that it's all good before I start driving it again or whether I need to rework things again. Any help great full received. 

There is other dots etc on the cog as the same cog is used for the cam shaft and intermidate shaft, I guess you have a later car if you have marks on a plastic backing plate on the cam shaft, what year is your car?
I use a line on the cog on the inside and line it up with the top of the front of the head with the rocker cover removed.

The tapping noise is proberlly the hydraulic tappets, take it for a drive and get it all warm and if the oil is over 12 months old change it and oil filter.
You won't damage the valves if the cam belt is a tooth or 2 out it will just be down on power.

you should have an OT mark on the cam pulley which lines up with the plastic cover mark, if in doubt check the inner one its still there even on the late cars. some good pics here:

Was just being nosey and on my computer the pics dont show up on the guide?
It could be BP's computer policy but thought I would check if anyone else is having the same issue  

yeah I have a web redirect setup to forward the pictures to my google pics site, often you find on business networks they dont like that!

to work around it copy the web address for each picture, and change "vwtech.no-ip.info/images/golf/" to "sites.google.com/site/rubjonny//images/golf/"
