Timing a first gen Mini is super easy, take of the crank pulley, take off the timing case behind it and line the markings up on the crank and cam shafts. See pictures below for the marks.


Crank, notice the two arrows pointing to the colored chainlinks

Cam, notice the one arrow and one colored chain link
