Q: suzuki aerio camshaft orientation
so for my suzuki aerio i recently had to take out the camshaft sensor to replace my head but the cam has slots in it to orient it in a specific degree i was wondering if the orientation of the camshaft sensor mattered or should it just be eyeballed to where it'll enter and sit properly without worrying about the orientation of it.
My car has a manual transmission.
