Timing 90 Degrees Off!?

[nickferguson08]

Ok guys I'm at a stand still on this 7 bolt rebuild...if the Green lines are supposed to line up and the Red lines are supposed to line up and the cam gears are as humanly possible to being lined up correctly then why is the picture taken TDC of Cylinder NO. 1 and the timing marks are not aligned. What am I missing guys

I had the same problem and for like 6 months couldn't figure it out, I finally took it to JNZ Tuning, great guys, and turns out my crank pulley was on backwards haha, so double check that.

This Timing Belt VFAQ link for your 7bolt motor will help you out on this question.

The crank sensor timing plate does look like it is on upside down.
