When I put timing belt on cam pulley odd hole was at 6 o'clock and crank keyway was at 12 o'clock. Now when you put them at 6 and 12,is that in line with the motor or not? Motor sits at slight angle. Thanks.

Crank sprocket has a little dot, with an arrow pointing at it on the oil pump. The arrow is hiding behind the tensioner spring.

Cam sprocket has a scribe line to align with the valve cover notch.

Here one with the 3Tech cam sprocket.

This time the 3Tech cam sprocket dot aligns with the valve cover notch. Also you can better see the hiding crank alignment arrow here.

If those are lined up, you should be OK. Always rotate, by hand, at least 2 full revolutions to double check. :cheers
