Default Rollermaster Install

Hey guys this is my first cam and timing chain install and i decided to try it out myself before i go have the cam degreed...just wanna see if this looks right for Dot 2 Dot...this is for the T-REX cam..its going in a 382 stroker with tea 1.5 5.3L heads with 2.02 intake and 1.55 exhaust,PRC gold dual valve springs, diamond pistons with 7cc valve reliefs. also i just ordered the head gaskets for a 5.3L head...is that correct or should i order the cosmetic gaskets from thunderracing for a 3.905 bore...i believe both gaskets are same thickness...on the gaskets am i supposed to match the bore size or the CC of the head size...thanks for the INfo and pics are below...ill but up a few so you can get a good look at the double roller.... and here are the camshaft SPECS also

Well, on further inspection, I think you got it down good.

Its scary, I know how you feel. I went through the same thing when I did mine. It looks lined up good to me though, you can tell when its off a tooth. Mine was the first time I got it on but I caught it by turning it around, man was I glad I checked it twice. Good luck with the rest of the install.

Looks good. I don't know how close your PTV will be with that setup though, dot to dot isn't the most foolproof way.
