Is there anyway to actually inspect this? I’ve seen a couple threads talk about crankshaft mark but there arnt any that I can see on my car.

 

well the crank mark is on the crank, and the cam marks are on the cam gears but you can't see them in this picture cause you need to turn the engine over some.

This should help, See step 2, ignore steps 1 and 3.
The crankshaft pulley uses a 22mm socket.
