[quote=sa155ae;1769809]When you say line up the bottom mark after I fitted the cam locks do you mean turn the engine through 2 revolutions clockwise with the cambelt off! Because my mark is just past TDC when cam locks are bolted on.[/QUOTE

If the camblet is off it doesn't matter which way you run the crank. the only reason not to turn it anticlockwise with the belt is on is so that you don't end up with slack in the front run of the belt.
