As far as. marks go, I used small dot on case by crank sensor. All the cam marks line up. Guess ill do a compression test.

Well, its a done deal now. I've done a lot of motor work but mostly on small blocks . That was a while ago. Most it could be off is one tooth. Wouldn't trouble show up when I hand cranked it?

I have a 99 outback 2.5. just replaced orig tbelt at 130k miles. also replaced idlers water pump and seals. I was very careful lining up the marks. I also hand turned the engine 2x before i attempted to start . Any ideas what i might have done wrong? The drivers side cams moved off the lobes, but i lined them back up. The marks were not perfect but all very very close. Question also, if i am off by a tooth, is that enough to bend valves? Thanks
