generally, when we set timing we put the belt on and make sure all of the slack is in front of the cams. then we take a rachet and rotate the engine around one time until the cam gears are back to tdc, then tension the pulley.
when you line it up, the mark on the crank pulley(the single mark, not the 3 marks) should be lined up with the front ridge on the lower timing cover, the arrows on teh cam gears need to point up, and the 4 lines on the cam gears (at 9 and 3 oclock) need to line up into a straight line - get a straight edge and check it.

will there be a load on the springs....like i'll have to hold the cam in place so it dont move or will there be no load on it??? does it need to point STRAIGHT up or straight up in line with the way the motor is sitting....motor slants to the front
