yes buy the sounds off it you are,
but when ever i do cam timing i remove the rocker cover and adlign the marks on the cam with the marks on the cam caps ,,
it allows for better timimg

Yep El'Fonzo,whip the rocker cover off and have a look at the cams,the first two lobes should face outwards at TDC (check the BGB,i'm pretty sure thats right)
