As you do this, the #2 & 3 pistons will be going DOWN and the #1 & 2 pistons will be coming UP. With the pistons below deck, you can turn both cams without worrying that a piston will whack a valve. Next, turn both camshafts counter-clockwise 90 degrees to line up their timing marks with their pointers. If you want to be really slick, put a wrench on each cam bolt and SIMULTANEOUSLY turn both cams back to line up the marks.

OK Blue, it's going down 11:30 Eastern, I understand exactly what you're saying now. I plan on going very slowly as B suggested anyhow but I understand the sequence now and have a great engine cross section to follow as well which illustrates the piston relationships spot on.
