I also believe with the dowel, you can only install the cam correctly. I haven't done an ls cam swap so I don't know. Dot to dot as you did should be good.

Disregarding fueling and spark, I’m was getting at the compression thing.
I’m not sure what you would call the shape of a cam lobe, like a acorn almost. So say the top of the accord is should be at 3 o’clock, which would yield both valves closed. If the cam is flipped 180, then the tip of the acorn shape would be pushing the lifter up, opening the valve. And if the valve is open, I’m not gunna have compression
