The timing mark on the crankshaft gear may be hidden by the oil slinger.
If it is still not visible, this should work:
Turn the engine over until the camshaft timing mark is vertically down.
This is the camshaft position for top centre on #1 firing stroke.
Remove the crankshaft gear.
Turn the engine over until top centre on #1 (compression test).
Refit the crankshaft gear.

Good luck.
