Just make sure everything else is correct. If number cylinder 1 cam lobes are facing out, on both intake and exhaust, and the crank pulley is lined up with the second mark from the left (0 degrees) you should be fine.

This is correct, but I just wanted to mention that you can put a long screw driver down #1 Cyl and as you rotate the crank, watch it go up and at TDC (Compression) cam lobes facing out (< >) and 2nd mark from left, your key ways on your cams should be 10' oclock and 12' oclock. I had a f'd up problem where the previous owner installed the cams a link off each and my dots lined up with the dark colored links, 9 links in between, but my cam lobes were slightly pointed up on intake and slightly down on exhaust...the dots were more like 11'oclock and 1 oclock.
The Exhaust cam key way is the easiest because its 12' oclock and verify that 2nd mark from left is truly TDC and when you stab the CAS it looks exactly like the frsport guide.
