Hi, I have an 05 outback with the 3.0 EZ30 D, R model. I just did a head gasket job, but now it's time to do the timing and I can't figure out the marks on how to do it. Everything I have read online is vary vague, IE, line up the timing marks to top dead center. Which marks are the timing marks???

Use Subaru FSM's and documenation, makes it easy. 

 

The chain has colored links on it to aid installation, they may be very faded on used ones, but usually mildly visible at least.

Oh - and congrats on getting this far - that's a beast of a job.  It's terrible!
