Ideal camshaft alignment
I was building up the car again, and I noticed the camshaft gear can be turned. As it turns out, this aligns the camshaft. Of course I didn't know this, and the first start of the engine was a collection of metal clanking before the engine conked out (YES I adjusted the rocker shaft). So that leads me to my question: what is the ideal camshaft alignment, and how do you know if it is properly aligned?

So the four holes in the camshaft gear give you an idea of how the camshaft is aligned?
