Depends what you mean. The cam sprocket will only go on the cam one way, and the crank sprocket will only go on the crank one way. However, you need to line up the dots that should be on both the cam and crank sprockets. Make sure you're as close as you can be by putting them as close as you think they go, then moving one of the sprockets one tooth over on the chain, back to neutral, then one tooth to the other direction. You'll see if it's perfectly lined up or not
