Quick Timing Belt Question

[chrism3784]

I have always relied on that Sho Phoenix website showing a picture of which of the two timing marks to use on my Gates timing belt. The sites down. One mark was for 3.0 and other for 3.2. I can't remember which is which. Anyone have that picture or just know? I have a 3.0, can't remember if its the left mark or right mark I align to the crank sprocket?

Answered my own question. Sho Pheonix is down and everyone has it linked to that picture, I somehow found it on google images in a thumbnail that you should still be able to make out. When you click the thumbnail, takes you to shopheonix's dead link. But there it is small saved from googleimages.

3.0 on right, 3.2 on left

The one that's further from the cam gear is for the 3.2 because the 3.2 uses an idler on that leg of the timing belt and the 3.0 does not. The idler makes the path from the front cam gear to the crank gear longer.

Here you go; a picture from the last 60K on my 3.0L. BTW, more SHO repair related photos can be found in my public Photobucket SHO album, if anyone needs them:
