riddle me this

"If the timing marks on the cam gears line up does that automaticaly meen the cams are aligned with the rite hole?"

No. Because the cam gear itself can bolt to the cam in 3 different spots. The timing mark on the cam gear is in line with the middle hole of the cam gear. There is a hole to the right and left that if the pin was in, the cam would be about 20 degrees off when the timing marks were lined up.

If the cam gears were not removed since you last ran the engine you can rule that out.
