Toyota Repair: Camshaft timing marks, dowel pin, dot marks


Question
I have removed the cam shafts from a 1992 Camry EFI and am now replacing them.  My manual is not clear on matching the timing marks on the inlet and exhaust cam gears.  The inlet gear has 3 dot marks on it, two are 5 teeth apart (on first and fifth tooth).  The third is slightly deeper dot approx 90 degrees from the center of the other 2 dots. When the drive gear dowel pin is vertical the two dots 5 teeth apart, are about 60-90degees to the front of motor.
The exhaust gear has four marking dots. Two are at the base of the teeth with 4 complete teeth between.  There are two other dots closely side by side at the base of another tooth approx 135 degrees from the center of the other two dots.

Which dots on each cam should line up together please.

Answer
The only marks you need to be concerned with are on the rear of the cam gears, there are two large dimples, these are the assembly marks, not the timing marks, line them up and then rotate the camshafts to the top dead center position, there should be two small dots that line up with the single dot inbetween.
The reason for the assembly marks is that the one of the cams has a spring loaded gear, you can identify it because it has a two piece gear, before you remove the cam you have to install a short bolt into one of the holes in the gear so that it won't unwind, the reason you need to use the assembly marks is that the service bolt is not accessible with the cams at top dead center so you assemble it with the marks so that you can then remove the bolt and then rotate the cams to the #1 firing position.
