:cheers: Welcome to the site-duane, what are you up to? are you putting back stock cams, 2 intake cams or a set of performance cams?

This is very general but some key points on stock cams:

1) set the crank TDC
2) exhaust cam in 1st, slot on the cam shaft not gear should run parallel to the head
3) intake cam on last
both lobes on #1 cylinder should be facing down(EX=7pm, IN=5,6pm)
4) CCT tighten
5)with a 14mm socket on the crank rotate 1/4 inch forward and backword to ensure no slack and slot lines marks line up

again very vague, but this is the general idea:smoke:

Depending on what cams you are putting in this fellow can do it with his eyes shut. If you called him he could probably give you his own recommendations as well.
