It is supposed to be dot to dot with the cam gear on it. Just make sure you have it at TDC when you do. If I remember right the dowel should be at the 3oclock position with the sprocket bolted on it. Just make sure it is lined up well because the MS3 is a biggin. The sprocket of course only goes on one way.

Yeah when #1 is at TDC the dot on the crank gear should be facing up in the 12 o'clock position. At that point, you can install the cam with the dowel at 3 o'clock which should have the dot on the upper chain gear facing down at 6 o'clock. This should have it installed properly using the dot-to-dot method. Make sure they are dot-to-dot and not a tooth off. I would recommend degreeing the cam but if you don't have the tools for it, this should get you fixed up. Be sure to roll the motor over by hand prior to firing the motor to ensure there isn't any PTV issues and that there isn't any binding. Let me know if you have any other questions!

take your time and make sure you check everthing twice. the best part is when you turn the key and hear it run.....that feeling you'll get!!!!! I cant explain it. you will soon know what I'm talking about

^^^ definitely. Check twice, the last thing you want is to make the most simple mistake that will be costly fella. But get that thing done
