Well, I dont have a haynes manual to look at, but I have done timing belts on 5th gen SI's and I put a z6 head on my wifes car and every I've done the timing the same way.

Rotate the cam till the "up" is pointing up and then lined the marks up with the head.
I've never ran into a single problem.

How do they tell you to set the timing on a z6, if you dont line up the marks with the head?
