You dont have to just to check the timing, if you plan on going deeper into the engine to replace the chain or something else you would. To get it at top dead center you will see your T in the inspection hole on your recoil starter cover, it will be at about two O clock, with the crank key pointing toward the cam gear. From what i remember of this engine on the cam chain there are 3 silver links, there are two that line to marks on the cam gear and there is one that line to a mark on the case next to the crankshaft. These are just there for initial installing of the cam chain, to get timing right, they dont stay in that position. So if you pull the cover and they are not where they are supposed to be dont get alarmed.
