Your going to have to get the broken end of the bolt out of the cam. Ether by using an easy out or drilling it out and taping the threads.

There are timing marks on the cam gear and it only goes on the cam one way. same with the crank. There are timing marks on everything.

Do you have a manual to help you do this?
