    Timing Belt Installation

    Hi everyone, Putting my new timing belt on and just checking a few points (my manual doesn't have the 3.0 DOHC motor info). I have the cam sprocket markers at 12 O'Clock and crank at 0 TDC (didn't touch it after removal of old one). After installing the new belt (with markers lined up), I...
