Just did timing belt... not 100% sure its right

[nickrule99]

Hey guys.. I just did the timing belt on my new engine, but I just wanted to be sure I have the marks lined up correctly. Im almost positive I do, but I dont want to have to do everying over again once the engines back in the car. Does it look ok?

Yep looks like it, your pic angle is a little off but looks like cams are lined up with valvecover surface. And if you balance shaft is still in make sure its lined up too. And when you pull your pin, or allen wrench out of the tensioner make sure you can slide it back in, if not adjust the idler pulley

looks good so far...only thing your gonna have to worry about is when you put the auto tensioner on, it pulls and moves one of the cam gears(pretty sure the right side). So when your setting up your marks have the one mark slightly higher then the other before installing the tensioner.

Make sure your Intake cams dowel is facing in the upwards direction like the Exhaust cam is. If so your good to go.

After the pin is pulled out of the auto tensioner, rotate the engine 6 complete revolutions, then wait 15 min. Come back, and put a straight edge across the center of both cam gear bolts. The timing marks should line right up. Don't try to eyeball the timing marks and the top of the head. USE A STRAIGHTEDGE!

And after those 15 minutes you should still be able to put the pin back in the tensioner if the belt was tensioned correctly. If you can't you didn't tension your pulley correctly before tightening it down.

I'm guessing you have the balance shaft removed? if not, make sure that is in time also.
