So am i right in pressuning the woodruff key will be facing the top of the barrel and that will be inline with the mark already in the engine casing ?? Ot does the marking on the flywheel line up with the marking on the engine when sat on the woodruff key ??

Never really paid much attention to markings on flywheel compared to keyway. Timing is generally done using the mark on the edge of the stator plate to the edge of the rightside stator plate mount, have a look in the pinned manuals, same basic setup no matter the year & there is a short explanation of how moving it affects performance

Hope that helps

 

This is the link that explains how adjusting timing alters the performance, for most of us standard works fine

Black mark at about 2 o'clock is the series of dots that I assume you were looking for with the timing. Not really needed if you have the key fitted as the marks are only for if you're altering the timing, fit the stator with the mark as shown & the flywheel with the key in place & you should be fine
