Refitting cams

Can anyone tell me how i can get my cams lined up correctly to reinstall them. I marked them up when i stripped the engine down, but that was about 3 months ago and i cant remember what point of reference i used when marking them. Any help much appreciated.

match up the silver links in the timing chain with the marks on the pulleys, one each cam and one on crank, if you have the oil pump off, otherwise set No1 piston TDC, the dowel in the exhaust pulley at 12 o-clock and the timing mark on the inlet pulley 11 links from the timing mark on the exhaust pulley. remember to fit/release the tensioner and rotate the engine by hand then recheck before cranking the engine over.

Forgot to say, DO NOT use the mark on the Crank 'Belt' pulley as a reference point for TDC as the rubber damper often allows the pulley to spin slightly and so be out of align.
