If you locked the cams then snug the center screw some and get the VVT pulley so that the timing marks line up with the pulley in the center of the free play it has.
When the screw is snugged up it will move to the left and right. Get it centered from there and loosen the screw back up and spin the pulley till the mark lines up and snug it up again and make sure it is centered.

Default thanks

when i recieved the car the cams where out off the head and the person had removed the gears, i put it all back together, and have the valve cover torqued down, but still a little confused because the gears can go on any way and that would make me off. So once i lock the gears in from the back of the cam, just center the gears to the top marks on the cover? thanks, sorry about all the questions

As long as the VVT pulley it centered on the cam you should be fine.
There is always a slim chance it might be a tooth or so off.

Hi Roadster,

I just read the replies to my post ( I actually didn't realize that they were there) and I know it might be too late for you, but my email is john@hondrogen.com if you want to send me any questions. I hope all worked out well for you.
John
