OK yeah, this diagram shows it better. So how is it then that mine didn't line up that way? I mean, like you said, I removed the belt and put the new one on and I DID NOT turn anything while the old belt was off, so obviously I had no issues, same for Mark I am guessing. Is it possible that these reference marks are there for when you have the timing belt break and you need to get everything back right again? It's just weird to me, because when I turned the motor over by hand with the old belt on, the notch in the pulley always ended up at the 9:00 o'clock position when the LH Camshaft pulley and RH camshaft pulley were in the right spots....Originally Posted by SlowPro48
The "Alignment Mark on Timing Belt" (aka "dotted line") is suppsed to be lined up with the "Alignment Mark on Crankshaft Timing Pulley" (aka "green tick mark") which is 180 degrees from the "Groove on Crankshaft Pulley" (aka "notch") which is supposed to be lined up with the "Alignment Mark on Oil Pump" (aka "line on oil pump housing"). See image below.
