Answer
Are you putting on a new belt, or the old one? New belt is better, if it hasn't been replaced recently. It is due every 60k. Make the crank gear mark is lined up with the mark on the oil pump, and that both cam gear marks are at 12:00. Then on the belt you should see a dashed line near the writing on the belt. with the writing so you can read it left to right, set the dashed line on the belt with the mark on the crank gear. The you will see a line on the belt for each cam gear. Line those lines up with the marks on the cam gears. double check all the marks, then put the tensionor back on, you should be good to go. goo luck
