That's (one of) the difference in a wet stator and a dry stator. Dry stator flywheels are easier to see. The inspection plug on wet stator models seems very poorly placed. You CAN see the marks but it's not easy and even harder to get an accurate timing light on one.
Can't win them all...even with a Honda.
Also....why do you need to see the timing marks to set the valves? If you can get the cover plugs out to set the valves, just watch the opposite valve. When the exhaust is wide open....pretty safe bet the intake is not. If it is, you got bigger problems. LOL. Just be sure the opposing valve is all the way down to account for any overlap.
