I've tried probly 10 times now and every time i Run into the same problem. My cam gear marks move when i go to put tension on the tensioner pulley. Has this happened to anyone else?? I've tried a bunch of difrent things but nothing is working. I've been working on my car for 2days now.

yon need to use a torque wrench to apply tenchon to the tenchoner and i used a camlock tool to hold the cam pullys. also you could refer to your chilton or /whutever book, the crank mark has to be set 1 or 1.5 theeth behind the timeing mark before aplying force to the tenchoner and i also beleve you apply 22fps to the tenchoner but again refer to the service manul. hope it helps timeing these things sucks nomater whaut.

Line up your cam marks. Line up the crank mark. Turn the crank spocket a tooth back. Put the belt on and apply tension, tyhen tighten down tensioner, and pull pin.
