Should the dot on the cam pulley be straight up when the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley line up with the mark on the lower timing belt cover? and Does the cam pulley locate on the camshaft with a key or something similiar to the cranshaft gear?

Cheers, what about the cam pulley locating? Is it possible to put the cam pulley onto the camshaft incorrectly? (180 degrees out or something)

i think theres only one way it goes on

theres a little guiding notch on the end of the camshaft, and a little hole on the cam gear, so theres only one way it can fit on. and the cam gear dot should be pointing straight up in regards to the engine angle, which would be slightly to the passengers side when looking diredctly at it
