There should be a place with a single dot and a double dot on each cam sprocket. Sometimes the paint will wear off, but there should at least be indents there still. Then there should be a spot on the valve cover/head with one little finger sticking out, and a place with two sticking out. You can either match up the single dot to the single finger or the double dot to the double finger. If you're doing it right, both should line up at the same time and you should figure out what I'm talking about.
