    Valve timing is set correctly when the timing pulley marks line up. On a 740, the timing mark on the intermediate shaft doesn't matter, but it's good practice to line it up anyway.

    timing light should work fine to see the marks on the crank pulley.
    Here's your timing belt arrangement:

    You don't set timing on the 230f motors. Why do you suspect timing problems?
