IP Drive Gear Position

I was contemplating buying a lst gen that the guy took off the gear cover, while the IP was off. Apparently took out the IP gear and did not get it back in time just right.
I am lost too, apparently unlike a gas engine timing gears, there are no marks to align on teeth? How do you get that gear back in proper timing? Anybody care to give me a short course? I am about to pull the pump and do the KDP on mine, sure hope I don't drop that gear while the cover is open. (unless it is easy to get back in time again)
