Mark and I stayed up late last night working on the VX. After pulling the broken timing belt cover (1st problem), we discovered that the RH/LH camshaft marks will not match up together with the engine. When I matched up the oil pump mark, the LH camshaft would match up with the engine but the RH camshaft was off by one tooth. I guess that means my timing has been off even though it runs smooth .

...Long story short, I will want to get back in this area for timing belt cover replacement and some work with the steering pump. Someone already replaced the timing belt, so we opted to leave the timing belt on in the same EXACT position on all three pulleys (I will replace later with OEM) and I replaced the water pump. I do have the option to move the RH cam shaft over a tooth which in theory will correct the difference in pulley positions. My question is if the timing has been off by one tooth, wouldn't I be able to notice when driving around?

One last question: when replacing the water pump, Do I leave one bolt hole missing a bolt? The manual shows an empty bolt hole at the top of the water pump and only accounts for 10 bolts/screws when there are 11 holes on the pump.
