So I finally got to the timing belt today. Thank god for impact wrenches. Anway I turned the Crank Sprocket clock wise to 1/2 tooth BTDC. I'm alittle shocked to what I discovered because it looks nothing like any of the pictures i've seen. The cam gears don't seems to be aligned at all. Maybe I could be wrong because I don't see any notches on the gears indicting where they should be. Here are the images. Since the crank is 1/2 BTDC, how would I align the gears? I still have to remove the head so the gears and camshaft have to come off anyway. How would I go about aligning the camshaft and gears with the crankshaft once I put them back in?

What is this notch? Is that the timing mark because both cam gears have it.
