Hello,
I had my IPD Adjustable Cam Gear installed by someone else, and I'm not sure how I am supposed to change the timing on it. I want to make sure I don't make it harder than it needs to be. I made an extremely crude drawing as a visual aid.

Let's say that mine is currently on -2.5, as shown by the -2.5 matching up with the notch on the circle behind the cam gear (Labeled B, not sure what that is called) & the little hole near the middle of the cam gear that aligns with -2.5 being filled by the cam shaft.
If I wanted to make mine +5, would I just pull the timing belt off, pull the gear off, and just put it back on with the +5 matching up with the hole and the cam gear wheel notch? Or would i have to also line up the notch that is in the upper left (labeled C)?
Sorry if this is a very stupid question, I just really don't want to mess up my car by throwing the timing off balance, or doing something I'm not supposed to.
