ok so i got the intake cam dot up top which should be TDC correct? now, i took out my CAS, and following the directions from phase2, mine dosn't have a yellow dot.... It has two dots but its not like in the pic

They are two engraved dots and unlike in the picture where the dot closer to the gear is on the right side, mine has the dot closer to the gear on the LEFT side, and the 2nd dot (farther from the gear) is on the right side... which do i line up before i stick it in and which should line up after its in the gears??

exhaust cam not the intake cam. Rotate around your CAS. There should be 3 things you see, two holes and one of em looks like a machined thing got pressed in there. That's not the one you're lookin for (obviously ha ha ha). I mean they should be there, just have a look or wipe it down with a rag.

Dont worry, its not exact. Even if you followed the diagram to a 'T' you still need to rotate the CAS while someone else turns over the engine. You use those lines to get the CAS in the neigborhood, then turn it very slowly until you hear the car begin to remotely catch. Then you know you are close.
