for a bone stock b16....when i line up the single mark on the crank pulley with the arrow on the block thats tdc right? (not the 3 marks where its white/red/white but the white mark where its all by itself) and when i line up the stock cam gears there is an arrow on each cam gear that say "up". thoses face up and then i can put the new belt on right? or ar there marks on the head that line them up? just needed to make sure cuz i cant find anything for lining up stock cam gears.

thanks

 

Theres a slot on the lower timing belt gear that lines up with the arrow on the oil pump. The time gears done just point up. There lines on the side of the cam gear. Lines two cam gear marks with each other with the arrows on the gear pointing up.

 

is it advisable to change the tensioner? theres 105+k miles

 

feel the bearing on the tensioner, if it's rough or loose or noisy, change it, I would change it anyways as that thing is as important as the belt itself.

 

thanks erry on for clearing things up and your input!! youve been very helpful

 

how about this crazy crap...I line up the oil pump line with crank pulley line, and line the camshaft marks up, but when I spin the motor after tightening the tensioner, after 2 spins the camshaft marks are half a tooth off!! any ideas
