when i take the crank pulley off i line the cams up at TDC and i look at the bottom sprocket that is behind the crank pully and that mark on it is lined up perfectly with the notch on the oil pump. from what i have learned that pretty much means that my timing is dead on as far as the timing belt is concerned.

well i put the crank pulley back on with the KEYWAY (nothing is damaged the crank pulley slides on perfectly and the little keyway is in perfect condition) and the little white mark on teh crank pully that is supposed to line up with the mark on the lowr timing cover is off it is phsically foward towards the radiator like 1/4 of an inch.

it doesnt make sense why the sprocket is lined up perfectly with the cams at TDC but the crank pulley is not. since i have disocvered this it has made trying to use a timing light a pain becasue noe i cant go by the little 3 red marks on teh pulley since it is going to be of now..

anyone kow what im talking about?
