GPZ cams in a kz750

I just picked up some gpz 750 cams that I'm going to put in my kz, and I just wanted to make sure that I bolt the cam sprockets to the cams in the same place they were for the gpz. The exhaust cams line up with square opening in the sprocket and the intake ones line up with the round sprocket holes.

Also, it's not explained in the FSM which direction I should turn the crank at the ignition in order to set the pistons at TDC. I assumed I should turn it clockwise (the same direction the wheels turn when going forward), but looking through the manual for a kz400, it says to turn the crank counterclockwise. Does it matter?

YES! Turn it forward / CW.
