cams look off a half tooth

i would line up the top two, then take a pic of the bottom. cause you may be able to turn it a little and still be very close to the best you can get

also, make sure you are rotating the engine in the right direction or it throws it off a little too

alexaddict replied 2 months, 1 week ago
well the cam gears are off yes...what so you cant get cam gears lined up correctly? to where all timing marks are line in? thats crazy...i thought all timing marks should be in line

as i stated, re-do the timing, making sure you rotate the engine in the right direction, and bring the two cam gears in line, then snap a picture of the crank line-up mark. also, by looking at your pic, you are still trying to to the timing marks with the valve cover on, and showingus a picture the is not 90 degrees off of the head.( we are looking at it at a angle)

Crank sprocket is fine. Oil pump looks off. Make sure this is in phase if you still have balance shafts (looks like you do). Cams are off. Make sure to line the cams up (use two 17mm wrenches), put the belt over the top, and check the marks before moving on. Then work your way clockwise around the timing components.

Ya, I understand it was taken at an angle. It doesn't look like it's perfectly lined up, but I think it's in the "close" range that it should be ok. But if he's redoing it, might as well make it perfect if it isn't

My first thought was that the oil pump was off as well but took a better look and realized the angle. The exhaust cam gear is off tho. Edit: wow I type slow.
