Thanks again Tod,

I do know about the Exhaust Camshaft Gear at 3 o’clock and the Intake at 9 o’clock, but they’re not. The cams were already out of timing (2:8) and I’m trying to find any YouTube video, any video on the web, that handles that kind of problem.

Eric has a wide range of videos, but like everyone else, he assumes that once you turn the crankshaft and set the timing marks on the crankshaft and the timing belt cover or on the block, the double cams or single cam, for that matter, will also lend perfectly on time. But, it is not always like that.

I understand about the tensioner, but that only applies when you’re trying to fit the belt after all the timing marks are set, and it’s usually about setting the Exhaust cam about one tooth out, then it will lend perfectly after the tensioner is set.

This problem had both camshafts about 2 1/2 teeth out of timing the 2:8 really.
1.5: 7.5 (not really 2 o’clock, and not really at 8 o’clock).

How do you adjust that?

If you have any link of any YouTube video or Non-YouTube video about my dilemma, please send me the link.

Greatly appreciate your time in helping me with this.

Thank you Tods213,

Now that I have it back from the machine shop. I cleaned the block the cylinders and test the block with a straight edge. Everything seems to be perfect.

How do I align the camshafts now?
