I should know better but I'm let insecurity get the best of me LOL. Me and a friend retimed my motor yesterday. Does my camshaft timing look correct?

Looks absolutely correct, minus being about 1MM off center due to where you stopped.

Take a file or a pen and place between the marks. it if lines up with the head where the valve cover meets you're golden. However, I can assure you those cam marks are correct. Now your crank is a different story.
 
Yea they are spot on. I was just having doubts I guess. Ever since I failed on correctly timing my old 2G I get skeptical about if its right haha.
 
So the lower marks are 100% correct? Why would you ask about the top and not the bottom marks AFTER you put your covers on?
