b20 timing question
I'm changing the timing belt on my b20 and I need to know are the cam gears supposed to point directly up, or parallel with the head, since the head is at an angle? I know it's a dumb question, but any input would help.

You can see the two notches on the cams don't line up at all when they're at tdc, and I can't get a good cylinder leakage rating no matter what.

Looks like you need to go about half a tooth ahead with each cam to me. You're missing the back timing cover with the line on it. The camgear notches would have lined up with that line.

Re: b20 timing question
those marks on each side should be in line with the top of the head. where the valve cover sits on.. use a straight edge rest it on the head behind the pulley and the marks should sit in line with it. looks like both cams need to go one tooth left
