Hi thank you I have the timming marks, what I am after is the timming of the 2 cams on each head timming in realation to intake cam to exhuast cam I think I have it right but would like to make sure. At the back of the heads each cam has a gear and both intake and exhaust cams are geared to each other each cam has one dot but both have 2 dots 180 degrees opposite single dot.
