I have some concerns 1. How do I make sure I have my # 1 piston at top dead center (and which one is # 1)? 2. How do I know when to put my cam at so it matches up with the pistons? 3. If this is off any will it effect the performance or could it damage the valves? Remember I am a novice at this (virgin if you will). Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

Line the small hole in the cam gear up with the red line or indentation in the cap right behind the gear.
