Hope everyones doing good. Question, Im currently swapping my cam chain tensioners, but on every video I see theres a dot on the cams for when you go align them to face each other. Mine seem to have dashs instead, Im just wondering if Im correct so I dont mess up on the timing. Thanks in advance! Looking at them more there seems to also be a z and a A that align with each other as well. Any help is really appreciated Dash is in black circle Dash is in black circle Dash is in black circle They face each other perfectly when aligned.
This one is A This one is a Z They also align perfectly with each other
