With a large degree wheel bolted to the crankshaft and a clock gauge reading the height of the inlet/exhaust valves, in turn.
Once you know the cam details you can accurately set it the cam timing, assuming the crankshaft timing chain drive cog has adjustable keyways. Usually +2,4 & 6 and -2, 4 & 6 degrees from TDC. Plenty of info/pictures on Youtube.

Re. your comment on overfilling the sump with oil, the Millers running in oil comes in a 5L container and the Rover engine takes 5.5L, so if anything there is not enough oil in the sump, although the dipstick shows it to be full.
