Another Valve Adjustment Question

Another Valve Adjustment Question
I just bought an 03 Quad Cab with the SO ISB 250 and 125,000 miles. When at idle I hear what sounds like valve clatter so I tried doing the valve lash adjustment last night and ran into a problem. I can't figure out how to get the crank at TDC.
I unscrewed a cover from the front of the injection pump and could see the gear but no marks. Are there any other ways ?

You don't need to look at the gears. I rotate the engine using the alt nut and just bring it around until the "line on the damper" is straight up at 12:00.
do half the valves, rotate on complete rev and adjust the other half. I don't have my notes with me to tell you which ones are adjusted together, but you could probably search on here and find it.
good luck.
