the red is the end of the timing bolt. you remove the bolt and insert a longer timing tool that will stop the crankshaft at top dead center.
the green is #1 connecting rod, yep, there is a hole in the front of the block so you can see the crank go round 'n round

above VCT gear assembly. there are 2 oil feed paths to the VCT gear to activate it, or not.
oil is fed from the bearing saddle, goes into cam, flows thru cam to outer set of holes,
then into VCT gear. hard to see other set of holes in gear, the tube is in one of those holes.

2017-10-01 17.08.53.jpg
above yellow denotes complete path.
in at bearing, thru cam to outer holes, then into gear

2017-10-01 17.13.54.jpg
above red and green holes where solenoid directs oil to
either channel in cam bearing saddle.

2017-10-01 17.14.14.jpg
above cam bearing saddle with channels, holes are out of view.

2017-10-01 17.30.43.jpg
