As long as the dots line up, it is fine.
Not possible to be 180 off. The crank spins 2x the cam. Not the other way around. The only thing you would be checking using TDC is degreeing in the cam to the cam card specs. If you used OE gears, it's probably degreed just fine. It's the aftermarket gears that are sometimes off a few degrees. |
