Well, that's the thing. When I put the sprockets back on (and when I took them off), the arrows were both pointing straight up, and the alignment marks were in line with the marks on the cover. After thinking about it, I guess this must be normal, because the sprocket only goes on one way - and this is the position the cams are in when the sprockets are lined up right. It just looks really wrong to me - i would think that both sides would match up.
