Quick Q about cam installation...

Dot to dot means dot to dot, right? My cam is to be installed "dot to dot", so as long as the dots are lined up, I don't have to worry about where TDC is, and making sure #1 is at TDC, etc, just dot to dot, right? Also, if the crank dot is not at the top from when I took it apart, what do I need to do to get it up top, just reinstall the old crank bolt and turn it until its up top? Thanks, Shawn

I'm being told that you should degree a cam in, how do you do that with an ls1 when there is not timing mark indicator? I'm also about to do a cam and was planning on simply lining up the dots.

I just got done doing my swap, and I put the crank dot at the top and just lined up the cam dot to dot.
I had +4* ground in to my cam so I didn't need to degree anything, just straight up.
