5.4 timing

when you time the 5.4 liter 3 valve engine i have two marks on my overhead cams one looks like the letter L and the other is the letter I. which one needs to be facing in the 11 oclock position on the right bank. also which one needs to be in the 12 oclock position on the left bank drivers side. I have the keyway on crankshaft in the 12 oclock position

L is for left and I is for right, double colored links centered on these , single colored link on crank mark

keyway at 10 is tdc , always double check with #1 cylinder
