    Here is where things get totally confusing for me, but before I go on, let me make sure we are all meaning the same thing when we say the same thing:

    1- Engine Timing Marks= The two hash marks on the engine heads at 10Am & 2PM. (or at 12 O'clock if you are using the terminology in the shop manual) and the hash mark on the oil pump cover across from the Crankshaft sprocket at 3 O'clock
    2- Pulleys Timing Marks: The three hash marks itched on the two Cam Pulleys and the Crankshaft sprocket and have a dot of green paint to make them stand out.
    3- TDC Notch = Halfmoon cutout on the Crankshaft Sprocket

    Now that we have a "terminology Base", here is where things get fuzzy for me! I watched that video on you Tube at least 20 times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjhNO...93A76C&index=2)

    1- He first says to make sure the Crankshaft sprocket is set to TDC, that means the TDC Notch is aligned with the Engine Timing mark at 3 O'clock

    2- He said to align the two Cam pulleys while Crankshaft sprocket is in the TDC position

    3- Here is where it gets Fuzzy...He said to align the dotted line on the timing belt so it would align with the TDC notch at 180 degrees from the TDC position...I thought the Crankshaft sprocket was not to be rotated after the CAM pulleys were aligned as in step 2

    SO, is this the right way? Align the CAM pulleys with #2 piston at TDC, install the belt on the CAM pulleys, then rotate the Crankshaft sprocket 180 degrees without moving the two CAM pulleys
    until the TDC notch is 180 degrees from the TDC position (which puts it at 9 O'clock) then align the dotted line on the belt with the TDC notch at the 9 O'clock.

    Is that correct? Have I lost my mind? Everyone has been saying not to move the Crankshaft sprocket after you set he CAM Pulleys, but the TDC Notch can't be at TDC and at 9 O'clock at the same time...Houston...We have a big problem!!
