be nice to know what year and model...put it in your signature.
but since you mention dots on crank sprockets, i can guess its at least an '01. your description of the cam "cam was dot how its pictured" is a foreign language i don't understand.
with the piston at tdc, the dot on the crank should be aligned with the cylinder (disregard the upper dot right now).mark the position of the flywheel to the case for reference, the cam lobes should be pointing to 5 and 7 oclock and the dots on your camwheel should be level with the top of the head.
make sure the two dots on the crank align with each other when you rotate thru (when aligned with each other you will not be at tdc, these dot alignments have only to do with the alignment of the counterbalancer).
