there are three timing marks on the crank and two on the cam spocket, I'm not sure which ones to go by, any advise with this problem would help greatly thanks.

Piston at TDC - use that flywheel mark.
Cam lobes pointing away from the rocker arms - the sprocket mark should either be parallel with the cylinder head - cylinder surface, or straight up and down, depending on the model.
According to the picture I have - the dowel pin for the sprocket will be at 6 o'clock.

Use the "T" mark on the flywheel, it means top dead center. The cam and/or the cam sproket probably has a line on it that you line up with the top edge of the head/cover joint. Don't forget to reset/c ock the cam chain tensioner before you bolt it back in. Some early Honda engines had a simple "O" mark stamped on the cam sprocket, if yours is like that the "O" goes at the top.
