Valve timing Hup 20

[1912Minerva]

Hi Everyone,

I am about ready to put my Hup 20 motor back together - this is a motor that has never run (since a rebuild 10+ years ago). I currently have disassembled it down to the crankshaft in the crankcase (still in the car). While I marked the location of the gear on the crankshaft with respect to the large timing gear on the camshaft (and taken reference photos), I don't actually know if it was in the correct position to start with (ie. before I pulled it apart). Is there a way I can check this? I have read the Hup 20 manual but about replacing the side plate and retiming the motor but this is really assuming that the motor was already timed correctly before it was pulled apart.

Any advice, as always, would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew.
