uhhhh.. no. The lobes on the cam shaft should be facing down and the bolts should be vertical and you should be using the T mark on the flywheel. U use the F mark to set the timing. Also no valves should be open and the lobes shouldn't be touching the rockers either... Good luck

no u shouldnt be doin that at all...when u put the gear back on u should have the little O mark on the gear facing straight up and the cam shaft facing so the lobes are down...you use the f mark on the flywheel for the timing...the t mark lines everything up for u if u do it right..its a simple 5 minute job if u have done it alot like alot of us ..u shouldnt need to be doin alot but ive had to since my 185 is a pos

thanks for the help,the cam lobs should be faced down-the valves closed,then put the cam on "O" at 12 o'clock (stright up and down) then i should be good?
