Default Cam install question
When installing the timing chain, should the timing dot on the cam sprocket be at 12 or 6 o'clock with the dot on the crank sprocket at 12?

Thanks

It probably easier to align the dots with cam at 6 and crank at 12.

But note that when you spin the crank one revolution from there, the relationship will now be cam at 12 and crank at 12.
