I got given a pair of ca16de cams for my ca18det and wanted to know if I set cambelt up with the factory timing marks ? ( the 2 on the cam gears and one on the crank )

Yeah. Only need to mess with the timing if you are doing the double exhaust cam trick. Got my CA16 cams for free too. Cant beat them for the price!

As Tim said, if you've got both, then you just set them as normal.
