Let me see if i get this right you want the exhaust ports to be as smooth as possible but not intake or the air and fuel won't mix good enough.

If you have the TSB, then you should have the number of links to count. xx links from here to here, xx links from there to there. I thought it was in the pics that show the cams and chains.

How do you know it's marked incorrectly??? I thought only some 98 engines had the wrong marks.
I'm going to take my valve covers off tonight to see how they are marked. I just don't know why you would need the TSB if you can just look and mark.

I'm not sure, but if the cam arrow marking on the CRANK sprocket is wrong, that may not have any bearing on the camshaft markings. I would think that with your newer engine you could just use the crank sprocket with the correct marks.
If that doesn't work, then put the #1 piston at TDC and align the cams by hand so that the #1 cylinder valves are closed. Then check your timing marks.

The cam sprockets are mismarked. Not the crank.
