Message Just about all info you’ll need is in there, plus details from the FSM (number of belt teeth between sprocket dimples, for instance). Have to pull the crank pulley to properly align everything.

Those two pass. side cam sprockets will tend to jump to an unloaded position - made me jump, as this was my first time doing this. During install, as you work the belt around, you can muscle them back into position. I used $1 little spring clamps to help prevent the belt from slipping off the sprockets... took me a few tries.

Critical is the alignment of the belt marks and the sprocket dimples (plus lots of other details, to be honest). Rear timing cover marks are a guide and are for reference only.

Gotta follow Damon’s write-up and the FSM - no question. It got me through it.
