I was looking at that same spot. As a note to Allesandro - you don't have to worry about turning things like the crankshaft or camshaft -- as long as you put all the marks in the right spot on re-assembly. The B21, 23 and 230 are non-interference motors but I do not know about the B200FT--depends on camshaft lift and profile and compression ratio. With the head off you can check for valve leakage. Either remove the cam -- or turn it to check cylinders one at a time. Prop the head up on 2 stands - valves facing up. With both valves closed pour a little gasoline into the combustion chamber. If there's any leakage you'll see gas running out the intake or exhaust ports.
