Technican: Hello, The DOT on the cam gear should be at 6:00 o'clock and the Dot on the crankshaft gear should be at 12:00 o'clock with the ignition timing mark at top dead center. If you leave the spark plugs out it will make it easier to turn the crankshaft in a clockwise direction to double check gear DOT alignment after two 360 degree crankshaft revolutions, with the chain in place. The chain slack will be taken up and since the cam turns twice the crank speed, it will require two revolutions of the crank for this confirmation of mechanical timing alignment. Your thoughts?,
