Default Help with KJ Laser 1.8 DOHC camshaft timing

I just did the water pump on our KJ 1.8 twin cam

Pump is good, but I suspect when I did the timing belt I got it wrong, as it runs like a hairy goat now

I had to guess the timing marks as had no workshop manual

Devo'd that I have to pull it down again

Can you guys tell me what the orientation of the two cam sprockets should be?

I've got the crankshaft one sorted, as it's easy to see the top dead centre mark

There seems to be at least 3 three marks on each cam sprocket and both have an "E" and an "I", as well as a "Z"

I always thought they just had an e for exhaust and an I for inlet which had to be lined up in the centre
Thanks so much
