I put new valve stem seals in my 91 GSX and a few other things. I was wondering about when I get to the reinstallation of the cams, the intake cam has the sensor on the end. Is there only one way this will fit, or can I get it 180deg off?
 
With the engine at TDC, drop the cam in place dowel pin up. Put the caps on, torque them down, blah blah. Yes now you can properly align your CAS to install it properly. First look at the CAS. You'll notice an indent on one of the spinner tabs, you need to align that indent with a mark on the case of the CAS. The mark is on the same face of the CAS as the spinner, just look around the circle till you find it and line them up. Now simply slide the CAS into the key on the cam and you're set.

If you still screw it up, the car will just run like crap when you start it. Just pull the CAS off and spin it 180* so its in phase and the car should run fine.
