RR for the final set up but u will need a cam timing gauge to set timing to manufactuers allowances

should be summin like 10 degrees past TDC (example)

to do this u have to have all timing marks on the block and the angle vernier disc, i have a kent cams one somwere

mate not being funny but if u not 100% sure DO NOT FIT THE CAMS YOURSELF!!!

Take it to a garage because no matter how many walk thrupugh guides and shit u read you could still easilly dmage your engine and the cams

personally i would take it to a local garage and just pay to get it done as cams can cause soo much shit its not worth messing with .

Youre right, I would copy the Orginal camshaft setings ans pulleys,
to make sure that would fit propley, then i would rotate the engine to make sure the they are in lign like the original.

Anyway I will go to a garage but in my island no one had set ajustable pulleys before, and doesn't exists Dynos here
thats why i'm trying to get as mutch possible information to make the think right.

if you have to fit them yourself just leave them on standard timing marks.

Yes, thats the 1st objective, then I need to study a way to set it for best adjustment, and see the engine reaction.
