Question HELP!! Cam Gear Install Question???

Hey guys, I have read many threads on the cam gear install and I have one question.

When you put the vishnu gears on the timing belt and line up the red dot with the mark on the engine and the mark on the belt (some threads say to put a white out mark on the belt to know where to put the red dot)... do you have to rotate the cams to get the cam dowel to fit into the cam gear hole????

Is this what actually changes the timing on the car, rotating the camshaft?? I am really new at this and don't want to make a stupid mistake and screw up my car.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

Yes, rotating the cams is what changes the timing. If your cam gears came pre-set, you will have to rotate the cams to line up the dowel. Just make sure that you line the red mark on the gears with the mark on the head.
