    Everthing turned out fine. Bottom line, ensure camshafts snap to 12 o'clock. If they don't automatically when removing belt, just do it afterwards. As long as the Crankshaft is on its mark, all will be well to do the Camshafts afterwards. After installing the belt, I turned the Crankshaft many revolutions to ensure all three marks lined up correctly. Thanks also nfpgasmask Bart, for words of inspiration. If anyone is contiplating or on the fence about doing the job yourself, feel free to call me and I can help you through the process. Bart's How-to was a life saver and I'm glad I did the job myself. It gives me peace of mind that it's done right and saved me a bunch of dough.

    GTK Bren. I may need to call you whenever I get back to working on Boy's VX. I'm pretty sure we lost timing reference whenever we were replacing head gaskets.
