No, you can torque them down without rotating the engine as they are not adj. I however do rotate the motor to close intake and exhaust valves as i torque them down-Just my way of doing things out of habit.

Cam gear and crank gear both have a dimple as reference points. Make sure they are correct or your not going to get the motor to run properly if at all
