hi guys, ive recently put my cams back in my car after changing the tappets. and ive put everything back where its supposed to go but ive noticed that some of the half moon things that hold the cam in place have numbers on ive kept the numbers in the right place just a few are upside down. does this matter? and can anyone tell me what the torque settings are for tightening the cams down.

as long as you dont mix the sides up, you cant really go wrong as the numbers will start from the cap that holds the half moon r/c seal, that cant go anywhere else.... so follow the numbers in sequence from that one and make sure they are facing the same way.

off the top of my head im sure no 1 is the exhaust side...

you can't put them on the wrong way - the holes are off centre

so as long as the order is still the same, someone must have stamped them upside down in the first place
