1UZFE VVTi Gear Leak

I have searched for 2 days and all I can find on replacing the oring in the Camshaft gear is on a 2JZ. I have taken mine apart according to the 2JZ write up and the 1UZ is totally different on the inside. Once I got the halves apart I relized I should have unbolted the center bolt from the cam so the gears would stay on it.
Does anyone have a picture of the cam sprocket with the plug out so I can see the reference of the notch in the middle to the pin on the outside?
The service manual shows a picture of them being lined up straight but I would like to confirm this with an actual cam. I will post pictures and the orings I used with a write up after I finish the project if it works.
Thanks,
Ben

I need a picture of the timing gear with the big end plug (19mm) removed. There is a allen bolt behind it that has a line up pin for the camshaft to vvti gear. I need to know the static relation of that pin to the pin on the outside of the gear. Basicly I want to know if they are lined up like in the picture I posted. The dotted line through the middle. Awesome timing belt write up though.
