are my cam gears set to tdc?

The problem is that the woodruff keys need to face up but when they are facing up, the dots on the cam gears are misaligned. any suggestions/insight? or is this the way they're suppose to be?

Its a Toda Timing Belt if it makes a difference

 

i would just align the dots...

 

well, i dropped a alen wrench in both the intake and exhaust cams but now my problem is when the cams are at tdc, i throw on my timing belt on and the crank is off tdc by a nudge. is this fine?

How much is a nudge? If you could take a pic that would help alot.

 

The motor is not at TDC when the hole in the cam and cam cap line up. In your picture both cam gears should be rotated counter clockwise, to get to TDC. So everyone here who says to align the dots is right.

 

nevermind, i finally got it

the dots now line up and the hole in the cam and cap do too along with the crank. yippee! thanks
