question on cam lobe direction

bassproducts
It says in the Clymer that when at 1.4 T the cam lobes on 1 and 4 should be facing the spark plug. On my 1 they are facing away on 4 they are facing the plug. Should this be corrected? Or is this correct?

It should be corrected. Since #1 and #4 fire 360* apart there is no way both sets of lobes could face the same direction.

I can explain it better.

When a cylinder like 1 or 4 is on the compression stroke BOTH CAM LOBES should be facing down on 45º angles.
