Timing Belt Change Question

[TexasProton]

Thank you both for the great info, and I totally agree. please go ahead and load the pictures...The more info I have the better I'll feel about it. So This step will require removing the head covers in order to make sure the cam pulleys are at the correct marks? I'll read all the info and will post a summery of what I'll be doing before I do it...Just to make sure I do it right!

Many thanks

No need to pull the valve covers. The marks we're talking about are the one's located on the belt pulleys (the one's you were trying to get aligned to start with). I don't thing there is anything under the valve covers that is going to help you with the alignment.

I remember reading about dots on the camshaft gears lining up under the valve cover but like i said before i think each of the camshafts spring into only one position. So im pretty sure removing the valve cover is NOT necessary...

I still have the valve covers off on Boy's Ebony. Lemme know if you need me to take some pix.
