Hi guys, Is there a correct and incorrect way the sprocket mounts on the camshaft
 Thanks

 No but the sprocket is the last thing to be bolted up to the camshaft after it has been worked on through into the cam holders.The orientation of the teeth on the chain and the line on the end of the cam will determine how it bolted up. Be sure to use some Loctite on the cam sprocket bolts also.

Chain vs sprocket must go on in correct order to get chain on the sprocket. No tensioner mounted.
I forget that all the time.

Maybe chain first, then sprocket.

Both follow each other when cam is entering from the side.
Rotate engine without plugs so you can verify T at 1:4  with cam in correct position. Can be done before rockers  are mounted. Do it again when all rockers are on their shafts moving the valves. A simple mistake will cost.
