i am trying to time my car but when i have the cam gears in the up position the lines in the center dont line up.( i hope thats not confusing). but ya which should i go off of... them both being up or them being lined up by the lines?

 

line up the 3 o clock line on EX. cam gear with the 9 o clock line on IN cam gear.

-) (-

 

so when i do than the intake"up" is in the middle of 11 and 12 o'clock..... and the exhaust is a lil closer to 12 o'clock but its still not straight up..... a lil toward 11 not too much tho. will it be fine?

 

The UP arrow is just a general direction indicator. The index marks near the teeth of the cam gears is what you need to go by. The UP arrows are just to make sure they're not pointing way off, like forwards or backwards or downwards.

 

yeah, mines the same way
