Cooper S valve timing

Does anyone have the correct figures for valve timings please?

What I am after is the actual numbers like x degrees BTDC is when the inlet valve should open etc. Cannot find them anywhere. I know about the coloured links on chain and how they should be lined up but have a strange problem that points to valve timing so want to do some proper checking.

The car is a 2005 Cooper S JCW though the fact that it is a JCW makes no difference where this is concerned.

Thank you thank you thank you if anyone can help

Have a look at Modmini on youtube where he does a rebuild of his own motor, he explains how to match up the timing chain with the two sprockets and the corresponding marked rivets on the timing chain. There are a few videos covering the rebuild so you will need to flick through them to find the correct segment.
