when i sat the cams back in, the alignment marks on the gears were off kinda facing downward toward each other like this \ / when there suppossed to be like this __ __ so i turned the gears by hand so they are the way they are supposed to be along with the crank alignment mark on the oil pump.anyone else have to do that?

also the new timing belt seems a little loose even with the tensioner bolt torqued to spec. am i just paranoid? thanks in advance (1st gen b16)

Did you spin the motor backwards (4-5 teeth is all you need) with the tensioner loose to take up the slack in the belt?

Can't help you on the cam gear question. I've only got 1.

 

thanks!!!!!!!!
