READ the jmX "How-To" for cam replacement.

I have a very bad feeling that you are getting in WAY over your head with all of this...

Check, check and double check the dot alignment. Anything less is asking for potential engine trouble and a really, really bad day at the dyno. Trust me. Rotate that crank a few times and see where they are.
