Doing timing. Two marks on cam sprocket. Pictures.

I thought I had my timing done correctly, but the car will not fire. It's a 1.5l JB engine.

I used the marking on the outside of the sprocket (away from center of engine) to set the timing, but the car will not fire.

Then I see that the sprocket also has a marking on the inside. These two markings do are on completely different place on the sprocket.

So, what is the correct marking?

Utside:



Inside:

Its the marking on the inside (nearest the engine) The mark should be level with the top of the head not the rocker cover.
