That's normal, they won't line up on every rotation. I believe that issue is covered in the manual. Let's hear it guys...

I was going to say the same thing, but after re-reading Bart's instructions it looks like they should line up after every complete revolution of the engine. Even after saying (or typing) that, I seem to remember that mine didn't line up after every revolution either (and I followed Bart's instructions to the letter).Originally Posted by Scott Larson

Hopefully someone else will chime in.

+1, I remember the same when we did my timing belt.Even after saying (or typing) that, I seem to remember that mine didn't line up after every revolution either (and I followed Bart's instructions to the letter).
If you're still concerned, I would count the teeth in the timing belt since its from ebay and could be the wrong size. Also, don't worry about the marks on the belt as much as the position of the cams & crank notches with rotation.
Good luck, I remember how scary it was when I did my timing belt.
